While cleaning a house in London, two copies of the Q1 were found, thought to be lost. This model, released in 1972, is the world's first fully integrated desktop computer, predating the brainchild of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak by a full five years. This was reported by Mir 24 with reference to The Daily Mail.
Revolutionary for its time, the Q1 featured a screen, keyboard and printer in a single unit. However, the high price ($20 500 USD, equivalent to $90 000 USD today) led to its use mainly in offices.
The devices found in London are a real find for collectors. Following exhibition at Kingston University, they will be sold at auction or directly to collectors.
