Best Answer

The first desktop computer designed specifically as a personal computer was the Altair, in 1974. This was designed and built by John Roberts of MITS (Micro Instrument Technology Systems) and eventually ran MITS BASIC programming language that was developed by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, who later founded Microsoft. The original kits sold for around $400 and today can bring as much as $4000 on eBay!
