IBM and Sinclair both sold early PCs. Sinclairs were mostly sold through magazine ads. IBM's PC was first sold in stores in 1981. Before that computers were only used for businesses and colleges.

Was Macintosh or IBM the first personal computer invented?

Apple did not make the first personal computer. A company called Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS) produced a kit in 1975 that you could assemble into the Altair 8800 microcomputer which is considered to be the first personal computer. The sales of this computer were higher than expected which indicated that there was a demand for personal computers. This inspired Apple and many others to start developing and selling their own brand of personal computers.
