You missed two earlier ones. The Olivetti M24 (also sold as the AT&T 6300 in the US) was released in 1983 and used the 8086 CPU.

- Tor3 3y agoWas about to say that. The M24 was the one I much preferred using during that period, before AT (286) PCs started arriving (or made affordable). There were other 8086 PCs around as well - I had a low-cost British one at home (IIRC it was called Advance 86 (EditUpd: That one was released near the end of 1983, way before any PS/2 line in 1987))
