- In this race we will look at the top selling desktop computers since 1979.
It only includes individual series, not full lines such as XPS, Pavillion, Presario, OptiPlex, etc.
Apple II
Originally, Apple was a computer brand for hobbyist, similar to Raspberry Pi. But they quickly became a mainstream computer company with the introduction of the Apple 2.
Commodore VIC-20
The VIC-20 from Commodore was highly successful, becoming the first computer to sell more than a million units.
Sinclair ZX81 (Sinclair 1000)
The Sinclair ZX81 was under-powered for its time with only 1KB of RAM and a 3.25 MHz processor, but its $99 price made it very popular .
Commodore 64
amzn.to/39nCM1z (Mini)
The Commodore 64 is touted as the most popular computer of all time and included a 1MHz CPU and of course, 64 KB of RAM.
IBM PC 5150
The first IBM PC came with a 4.77 MHz 16-bit Intel 8088 processor and 16KB of RAM. It was priced between $1500 and $3000.
NEC PC 9800
The NEC PC 9800 was Japan's answer to IBM's PC, it featured a 5 MHz Intel 8086 CPU, two display controllers and 128KB of RAM for about the same price. The 8086 CPU gave rise to the x86 architecture, which eventually became Intel's most successful line of processors.
Sinclair ZX Spectrum
The ZX Spectrum came with 16KB of RAM, and a 3.5 MHz CPU. It's power and low price of $166 allowed it to become a popular household PC.
Amiga 500
The Amiga 500 made the leap to a 32-bit CPU at 7MHz, 512KB of RAM, support for 4096 colors, and an internal 3.5-inch floppy drive. For only $700.
Apple iMac
amzn.to/3qWFaCp (Latest)
The iMac was the beginning of a new era for Apple, not only rescuing the company from a series of flops but also ushering in a new design and marketing strategy.
Mac Mini
amzn.to/3iSK2pv (Latest)
The Mac mini was the first mac to ship without a monitor or keyboard. Its focus was to attract PC users and living room usage.
Raspberry Pi
www.raspberrypi.org/products/... (Latest)
Although it is mostly used for specific applications in science, robotics and engineering, The Raspberry Pi can also be used as a desktop computer. Making it the best selling desktop computer to date. It's popularity has to do with its tiny size and price under $40.
What other desktop computer should be in this list?

Mixing apples and oranges here. Or rather, apples and raspberries.
the logicial Is flourish
LOL
The video is beautiful, but complete nonsense. Using the logic of just grouping all iMacs together that only have the name in common, you could have also grouped all IBM compatible PCs together. Of course, the C64 is still the world's best-selling computer with (22 million units).
I agree. One could also start counting the HP Pavilion line, a shared-name production of desktops and laptops since 1995. Raspberry Pi has not been the same either (if that's even a desktop to begin with).
These are Desktop - aka branded, prebuilt - systems. Not IBM compatible PCs, but IBM PC-s what you can order from IBM (like NEC, Dell, Origin, etc.)
@@merlinwarage So what?
Yep. As if the 20-something inch iMac (2018) that I'm watching this video on is the same model as the original iMac. lol
Missed the TRS-80 and Atari. This video favors companies with few models like Apple. Dell had sold a ton of computers. Not shown.
Got my TRS-80 in 78 or 79 when the Apple I hadn't even come out yet. Then Atari 800 and ST's till sometime around 90 when I got first IBM.
Commodore Pet missing from the start?
TRS 80 also?
Yayyyyy you're back
Pls most popular ncs songs 2013 - 2021😢
I love the 90er its the best time ever street fighter super mario bros i mis ittttttt. 😭😭😭😢😢😢❤️❤️❤️
@@prankbros4096 Relive it! Buy a retro console and enjoy :)
I loved the Commodore 64, it was affordable and had tons of programs and games.
atari ST is missing, atari 800 series, bbc micro, amstrad and some others....
Where is the Atari 800, or the TRS 80? In 2000 there's still blank spaces but no Atari 800 or TRS 80
Seriously, the Atari 400 and 800 was released in 1979!!!!
This list seems inaccurate, I mean, a list of PC vs Mac sales would have been far more accurate. Showing all sales by Dell, by HP, by Gateway, that's what I expected to see. This is the first 'bad' video by this content creator that I've seen, and I feel it's biased to not include those. PC's have massively outsold Macs over time, anyone with a brain knows that.
The problem is companies like Dell, HP, and Gateway put out new models so frequently that no one single model of their computers ever sells a ton of units before it is replaced by a newer version. Just saying "Dell" or "HP" would be like just saying "Apple" and counting all of the Macs as the same thing. Back in the 80s each machine had its own OS where nowadays so many PCs all have Windows, it isn't like you have to stick to one brand to get the most popular OS.
yeah this list sucks. No Atari 400er and 800er. The ZX81 and ZX Spectrum is split while the iMac is one. Than the Amiga only is the 500. Than the Pi is a single entry... What is the point of all this?
Next the most selinng laptops
I love the decision to add commentary. Please continue to do that. :)
It's text to speech I think but it's good quality 😂
It’s distracting!
@@dudedude6690 Yes it is text to speech
Where's the general 'IBM desktop PC'?
Most people build there pcs
@@barbrose4987 no
Hahaha. Ibm compatibles ;) After all, that's what we still have on our desktops. Thank Compaq for that.
I find it interesting that 80's computers are still so high, I know the market as been flooded with various PC'S since the early 90's but I've seen stuff like Dell OptiPlex's all over the place, maybe those don't count since they were frequently replaced with newer models but still with the model name of the computer after a handful of years.
Raspberry: *S T O N K S*
Mac: "Somethings wrong i can feel it"
So many brands were missed like Dell, HP, Compaq, and, IBM that this comparison misses the mark on so many levels. I have enjoyed the other videos but not this one.
The Guinness Book of World Records says the C64 is the best selling single computer model of all time with sales of about 30 million units between 1982 and 1993. The only reason the PI is higher is because of all the different models included which will push the sale higher and higher as they bring out new models.
Love the video but why Atari ST Computers are missing from the race.
The first computer I ever used was an Apple II in school in the 1980s.
There are a lot of other brands missing
Sir please say me the name of the background music which you use in the evolution of laptop
From India🇮🇳, Tamilnadu
Vaazhga Thamizh!😍
@@StatsOverTime 😄😄
Well they count the C64 model only while Raspberry has so many models.
IMac same.
Wow great video
I did not see Gateway mentioned late 80's, early 90's. Guess they were a collection of parts from several makers.
Its very cool how you started to put that graph in the bottom of the video, very cool
Please make a tutorial on how you create these epic things
Plz
On TH-cam u already have everything search for it this is data visualization 😂
I doubt he would ever make one considering that could bring in competition.
Ossam thing thanks for making this video
I thought the commentary was super useful and helpful. Please continue that!
Good video
Question: where did you obtain the data??
What happened with the Tandy 1000 series? Those computers took some part of the IBM home market because of the Extended CGA Graphics Controller, multiple built-in I/O ports and integrated sound chip.
No IBM compatible?
Atari ST is missing. Very successful at the beginning. Starting in 1985.
How do you edit these videos
Commodore 64 legend...
great bro ...
Video after a. Long time 😍
Raspberry Pi, The mini computer used for create Mini computers
ZX Spectrum's flagship model came with 48K. There was a 16K, but no so many were sold.
How do you make this videos?
Commodore 64 was the best-selling computer until the 2000s, the NEC was a failure as Apple started to sell a lot. But Raspberri Pi in a few years has broken the sales record.
OMG YOU'RE BAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C64 my first computer.
I went crazy obsessed collecting for machine as I got older and the nostalgia kicked in.
All gone now. Don’t have the space to store it 😢
Should have included like, Gateway 2000 and Dell Optiplex! Or IBM PS/2! What about our beige boxes!? Haha
Love it
New Style of Commentary, eh? I would like to see more of that.
I was thinking about doing the best selling video games battle from Microsoft vs Sony vs Nintendo (And by that, the total units from consoles from those three companies)
Chromebooks are gaining market share big time.
Someone please tell me what song this is
ya you ,r back
The amiga 500 was very powerful
Best selling windows and apple products next please
I never even heard of Raspberry Pi before. Sounds interesting. Also, the first gen iMac was just cute as a button. Everything about it, INCLUDING the buttons/keys. The downside was the cute keys were a bit small for a man's hands. I also remember the Amiga being considered a wonder computer at the time. Such graphics!
The Amiga, was basically a doubled Commodore 64. Amiga had 128k of ram.
My first computer was a ZX Spectrum 48K memory and 16 colors in 1983. I worked all summer to buy one and learn't basic on it.
So you ''lear-not basic"?
i can imagine a colorfull world without mac and Steve jobs rescued company.
now we have to chocke ourselves with same phone models over and over and over.
Commodore 64.... it's still on 4th place event with this type of comparison
..... If I calculate that there were several types of Imacs and Raspberry Pi-s than it's still on the second place.
Awesome :)
Several things wrong in this video. The C64 sold 22 million unites. Apple sold Apple II computers until the end of 1993, but you have sales stopping by the end of 1988. You're lumping all iMacs and Apple II computers together, but not all Amigas? There is no consistentcy in any of your breakdowns here.
Enjoy the graphics and not the info. The info is always wrong..
Bold move suggesting that a raspberry pi is a desktop computer. And if you're gonna lump all iMacs and IBM's together you might as well include HP, dell, gateway, emachine, Lenovo etc.
nice
My favorites on the list are the iMac and Commodore 64.
Raspberry Pi emulate a C= 1541 in my (still working) C64.
Plz make most popular laptops
i had zx specrum, commodore 64 and amiga 500...
Where are Apple II GS, Macintosh and Amstrad computers? PC compatible computers mixed numbers are also missing.
Does optiplex count as a desktop? Does dell monitors and Acer computers count as a desktop? If not then I didn’t use a desktop.
No HP, Dell, or Gateway - what am I missing here?
Where is Atari? :)
He said only inviduals, Atari was possibly line, not to mention more of a Video Game Company than a Desktop Company...
WELCOME . THANK YOU .
Why are these so intense.
I‘d love to see an updated version of this reuploaded without the commentary, I just recently came across these videos an enjoyed the graphics, data with the atmospheric music 👍 This is the first one I watched with someone talking, let’s just say it is not the same.
THANK you for the wonderful piece of history
Great video but you forget Amiga 1200 / 4000, Amiga 600, Amiga 2000, Amiga 3000, Amstrad CPC 464, 664, 6128, etc. Atari ST / STE, Next, etc. Amstrad CPC was realy popular in Europe ! Commodore C-128 etc etc... Thomson MO5 TO7 etc... Please update ... All retro computers homes.
Where is Dell?
Dell has sold more than most companies, but they have too many series of computers, so none of them reach millions in sales.
Apples and raspberries, how about that.
Where are all the pc desktops Brands ? In your video it seems like on the last 25 years there were only mac and raspberry pie.
Yeah, from the mid 90s on there were too many PC brands, lines and series, so none of them sold millions. In the 70s and 80s there weren't that many options.
@@CaptainGizmo , I appreciate and enjoy the graphics and info, as do so many others. For this animation of non-Microsoft O/S, proprietary O/S systems it might have been a good idea to have included Radio Shack and Atari. Prior to the dawning of the Microsoft O/S, both companies sold a lot of computers. Probably more than some of the others you included. That said, keep up the interesting work.
I am missing the Franklin Computer. It was an Apple IIe clone. They existed at my high school, next to the IIe's. And, I know that Franklin got sued for copying Apple, while IBM clones still existed. That is a weird story you could look into for future viewing.
And the Macintosh? And some windows pc?
Well, see the voice in the video!!?
Why are these so intense?
iMac has multiple PCs under its name…
Raspberry Pi is such a different thing. I don't know what percentage of them are used in desktop computer, you can, but you can also use them to power LEDs. We could classify all Dell motherboards/cpu combos as one thing and get a big number, is that meaningful though?
Where's the Tandy 1000?
Forgot the Compaq portable...
what about Dell & HP?
POV NEC PC 9800 in 1999: *stops time*
Where is the TRS-80 or Commodore PET?????????????????
I love computer in 1979😭😭
missing a lot of computers here...
The raspberry pi probably won with the amount that I have bought I have 3 of the raspberry pi 3B+ and 1 raspberry pi 4 they're actually really good I even got one of them to run Windows 10 it didn't actually do bad
What about the Macintosh?
missing IBM AT and Compaq 386
It Looks Like the Rest uses PC 9800
Raspberry Pi - best known for playing PS3 games (Assassin's Creed III, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, Monster High: New Ghoul in School, etc) through emulation
Is it just me, or has no one else could of the Raspberry pi before watching this
No sales numbers for 90s PCs besides apple? lol
That figure for PC-9800 is for the entire series of NEC PC-98xx PCs.
This list as some others have already commented makes no sense since it has so many mistakes and computers missing. BTW two more computers missing on this list both from AMSTRAD, the CPC and the PCW.
The first Amiga was not Amiga 500 but Amiga 1000 !
Ix-nay on the voiceover!!?
Please most selling sega evolution
👍👍
Acorn , BBC computers etc? Those were huge in the UK anyway, but how come they are not on the list , like many other I would expect. nice though.
Think the voice over is distracting if I’m being honest.
