The name PS/1 suggested that it was a more limited line than its previous PS/2.
The 2011 model was the first in a line of PS/1s that would be produced until 1994, when they were replaced by the IBM Aptiva.
Its processors evolved from the 286 to the 486, and its memory would also progressively increase.
