Mine was the Apple II Europlus. Bought it in 1979. Loved that thing.

I feel less old, thank you all :)
Some Acer laptop I got handed down, 300 MHz Celeron with 64 MB / 4 GB. Looking back, I can blame a lot of how I ended up on that PoS. I have fond memories of playing around with Win 9x and DOS on that thing, clumsily trying to keep it from breaking apart and my parents from taking it away.
The first computer I actually fully bought for myself was a shitty MSI "gaming" laptop with a first-gen i5. That proves that I learned nothing. It would overheat like crazy, the hinges broke after 2 years, had a custom Ati-Intel dual GPU setup that would not play nice with Linux... ah, memories...
Next one after that was a used Elitebook 2540, because I was done with shitty hinges.
