I've done this before but sometime ago and it's time to renew this.

Quite interesting what was our first love computer

I was 14 at the time and paid NZ$100 for it.

Here is my one:

I was spoilt and got the 8KB RAM version, twice the standard :O

Having a tape drive build in was sooo cool.

Keyboard was a bit naff.

All the info on my baby can be found here

PET 2001 series Specs

CPU: 6502, 1 MHz

RAM: 8 KB

ROM: 18 KB, including BASIC 1.0

Video: discrete TTL video circuit, 9" monochrome monitor, 40×25 character display

Sound: none / single piezo "beeper" (optional external speaker driven by MOS 6522 CB2 pin)

Ports: 2 MOS 6520 PIA, MOS 6522 VIA, 2 Datassette (1 used / 1 on the back), 1 IEEE-488

Notes: 69 key chiclet keyboard and built-in Datassette / full-sized, full-travel keyboard, no built-in Datassette

What did you guys have a first ?

Same here ... but I quickly upgrsded to a 4040 Dual Floppy (the only one in the region might I say!!) and then later to a 9090.

I was styling with 32k PET's too.....so there :)

Ahhhhh... memories.

My first computer was a MSX Hit Bit of Sony.

With a MSX-DOS operating system from Microsoft.

Meant to become the "HOme Computer standart, like MS-DOS was the office computer standart but it flopped against the C64.

64KB RAM

3,7 Mhz, 8 Bit processor

I am too new, my first computer had 1.6GHz CPU (some AMD Sempron), 1GB of RAM and GeForce FX 5200. Oh, and 80GB HDD. :/
