Best Selling Desktop Computers 1979 - 2021

Mixing apples and oranges here. Or rather, apples and raspberries.

[@Hessi]

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).

[@miljororforsprakpartiet290]

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).

[@merlinwarage]

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.)

[@Hessi]

@@merlinwarage So what?

[@BigSleepyOx]

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

[@8BitRetroJournal]

I agree...what about all those Mac's before the iMac. Also should group all the clones together to get the real dominance of the PC. TBH, I the PC-9800 wasn't even on my radar.

Missed the TRS-80 and Atari. This video favors companies with few models like Apple. Dell had sold a ton of computers. Not shown.

[@johnknapp952]

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.

[@flagger2020]

Commodore Pet missing from the start? TRS 80 also?

[@svendaennart]

atari ST is missing, atari 800 series, bbc micro, amstrad and some others....

[@stephen-dev]

I was wondering the same. In those years he didn't even have 10 listed, I'm sure Atari or some other could have been put in.

[@playero35]

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.

[@jackofallgamesTV]

Where is the Atari 800, or the TRS 80? In 2000 there's still blank spaces but no Atari 800 or TRS 80

[@skipbreakfast]

Seriously, the Atari 400 and 800 was released in 1979!!!!

[@leonarddurecki5988]

I loved the Commodore 64, it was affordable and had tons of programs and games.

[@will_it_work]

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.

[@paulogo3482]

Enjoy the graphics and not the info. The info is always wrong..

[@thomas1699]

I did not see Gateway mentioned late 80's, early 90's. Guess they were a collection of parts from several makers.

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.

[@it-linux-computers-geeky6651]

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.

[@mattwolf7698]

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.

[@Moneytakerbaby]

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.

[@billkammermeier]

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.

[@DoomWarriorX]

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?

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 😢

[@thedevilriders101]

ZX Spectrum's flagship model came with 48K. There was a 16K, but no so many were sold.

[@LoveatFirstHike]

Should have included like, Gateway 2000 and Dell Optiplex! Or IBM PS/2! What about our beige boxes!? Haha

[@chadiforce]

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.

[@coolbro8922]

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.

[@volkerball3]

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 :)

[@wyldchyld2]

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.

[@dylanmajor100]

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)

[@Alsayid]

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!

[@Coats2112]

The Amiga, was basically a doubled Commodore 64. Amiga had 128k of ram.

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.

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.

[@markw208]

@@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.

VERY INCOMPLETE HISTORY of "Desktop computers" Windows based PCs are completely missing here when they dominated market share ever since they emerged! This presents a false view that Apple was more popular/successful than it really was... and that it had little to no market competition. Couldn't be farther from reality. Windows PCs almost bankrupted Apple. Even today their PCs aren't that popular comparatively. The largest profit area for Apple is the iPhone.
