DimensionsFor useby one person at a time
PC – Formal Definition (Britannica)
• “Microcomputer designed for use by one person at a time. A typical PC assemblage comprises a CPU; internal memory consisting of RAM and ROM; data storage devices (including a hard disc, a floppy disc, or CD-ROM); and input/output devices (including a display screen, keyboard, mouse, and printer)“

company and resells it as its own
80 07
IBM PC Compatible
• Meaning: Designating a computer generally similar to the original IBM PC
• Also referred to as “PC clones”• Examples:

• Up to 1983, all of Apple’s computer were marketed with MOS 6502 chip series
• In 1983, Lisa was the first to use the 68,000 Motorola chip
• All of Apple’s computers were marketed with the 68k chip series from there on
Vs.
80 07
• In 1994, Apple started using IBM’s PowerPC chip series
• In 1995, Apple finally stopped using Motorola’s chips
• This held to 2006, in which Apple declared it’s cooperation with Intel
