What we know about computers Q1

Q1 computers were produced by the American company Q1 in 1972 using the Intel 8008 processor, the first 8-bit microprocessor. They had a unique industrial design, plasma display and 16 KB of memory. When they were released, they sold for approximately $1,500. 9000 dollars Today.

Q1 computers are extremely rare for what they were made of just a few dozen. According to predictions, the world just survived eight Q1and three of them are in museums. These computers are considered the forerunners of modern personal computers, as they paved the way for the development of more powerful and affordable microprocessors and devices.

Kingston University Museum Curator Dr. John Smith said Q1 was “an extraordinary piece of history” and he was “delighted to receive such a generous donation”. He added that the Q1 computers will be restored and displayed to the public along with other historical computers and artifacts. He also thanked the cleaning company for their “incredible innovation” and “integrity and professionalism.”
