The desktop environment rather than the physical machine initially begun as a research project by Douglas Engelbart for SRI International, who is also attributed for creating the computer mouse to go with it. The term "WIMP" was used to describe "windows, icons, menus, pointer", which is now commonly termed the desktop as we know it today. It was first seen in a computer in the Xerox Alto in 1973, which was the first to have a virtual desktop and mouse, roughly 10 years before the Apple Lisa which is commonly and incorrectly regarded to have been the first.
The Apple Computer 1 (AKA Apple I, or Apple-1) was a desktop computer first released by the Apple Computer Company in 1976. Since that time the Company has had a series of laptops and desktops in continuous production.
The first such desktop-size system specifically designed for personal use appeared in 1974;The first desktop was the MITS ALTAIR 8800, I believe made in 1974 and shown on the cover of Popular Electronics in January 1975, which became the inspiration for another company called Microsoft.
