IBM PCjr 4860

IBM PC · 1984

IBM's home computer, and one of its famous failures: cartridge slots, an infrared "Chiclet" keyboard nobody could type on, and a price that made no sense beside a Commodore 64. IBM replaced the keyboard and cut the price, then killed it after a year. Worth having as the moment IBM discovered it did not understand the home market.
