  • Do you remember your first computer?
    This video shows the performance of the top computer brands in terms of market share. Apple dropped by a lot in the late 90s, hence why they brought back Steve Jobs. I did not include them with the "others" because they have been very influential to the computer industry. Those that dropped to 0% were either acquired or left the computer market. Computer brands that sold less than 3% are part of the "others" group, those included brands like Sony Vaio, Microsoft Surface, Packard Bell and hundred others. In the 90s computer sales were based on price and performance instead of style since they were seen as a business tool.
    I included popular computers from each year so you can see the progression of computer designs and so you can have an idea of what was selling at that time. I did not include many laptop images because it's difficult to see their progression other than thinner bodies.
    You can find the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro here:

      My first computer was the Others brand and I loved it!!! 😂Lol No but seriously the first computer I had back as a kid in the 90's was a custom built Pentium II MMX 233 with Windows 95 32 MB of ram, a 24x CD-ROM drive and a 32 bit Video card Expert Color Pro it was called Lol. My dad paid about $2000 at the time knowing that computers were going to be the way of the future. I miss my dad he was the best dad ever!😭

    My VERY first computer was a Timex Sinclair. It had 1K of memory. NO drive storage, not even tape. You entered a simple program of no more than 1,000 total characters. When you turned it off you could not save the program. Monitor was a TV. It cost $99 assembled or $49 if you wanted to assemble it yourself. Not very practical, but that's how I learned. My computer #2 was a Radio Shack CoCo. Still have it.

    My first microcomputer was Cybernet. It was an American-made model. It enabled me to learn to use Microsoft Windows XP Professional like a computer technician, and it had Microsoft Office XP Professional that enabled me to work higher than just a keyboard specialist (that is, a typist with strong keyboarding skills). In 2017, I bought my first Dell microcomputer, but replaced it with an advanced Dell microcomputer that works great, as you may read my accurately-typed comment. I call my microcomputer my Keyboard, because it is my powerful typewriter. I enjoy using it a lot. Keep the shows coming through!🙂

    'Others' should have small enough combined share to stay at the bottom of whatever list size you are following through time. It's a bit silly if it moves up and down the chart, and it's beyond ludicrous for it to be at number one for nearly the whole time. Imagine if the chart show announced that the number one in the singles chart was a combination of literally all tracks available to stream, download or buy, other than those we already played between 40 and 2 in the Top 40.

    I knew others was in trouble due to the rise of the laptop and demise of the desktop PC. I'm surprised how long it took others to be overtaken. Currently I've got a Lenovo gaming laptop and a home built desktop PC which would be an others. I'm shocked Dell isn't much higher given every work computer I've got is a dell in a large hospital. Dell has most of the business market.

      Apple was just almost about to go out of business back then until Steve Jobs came back. Apple products aren't ripoffs today. It all comes down to personal preference.
