They would normally be called 'Home Computers' in that era before the 'PC' and during the 8-bit to 16-bit changeover, say from 1975 to about 1985. CP/M was the main OS back then.
At that time the two technical categories were the 8-bit systems which had been around for about 7 years (CP/M machines, S100-bus machines, apple 6502 machines, 6800 machines, Z80 systems such as TRS-80, Sinclair, etc) and the newer 16-bit 'PC' market which was originally slanted towards Business, especially with price-tags of 6-10 thousand dollars.
