Contemporary computers of Amstrad 6128 plus


Manufacturer: IBM
CPU: Intel 80286 @ 10 MHz

Innovations: Unlike the innovative PS/2, this was a low-cost model that used common technologies used by all manufacturers of the time, such as the ISA bus, the VGA standard, or the IDE disk connection.

In 1990, IBM returned to the home market, five years after its previous attempt with the IBM PCjr.
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.
