How has PC30 been developed in the past years?

30 years ago on August 12, IBM launched 5150, announcing the birth of the "PC" we are familiar with today. This great invention detonated modern computing, and it can be said that today's achievement in the entire IT industry should be attributed to the development of PCs.

Let's take a look at some of the most important PC computers in history.
