"Rare Discovery: World's First Desktop PCs Uncovered in House Clearance"
Just Clear, a house clearance company, discovered two Q1 microchip computers, believed to be the earliest examples of desktop PCs, powered by Intel 8008, during a house clearance in the UK. These chunky machines, resembling typewriters, were the first to use a single-chip microprocessor CPU and are on display at Kingston University until February 17, 2024, after which they may be auctioned or sold privately. This discovery highlights the cultural value of preserving lesser-known technologies and showcases the rapid advancements in technology over the past 52 years.
