First one, Micral N, in 1973.

By Réalisation d'Études Électroniques (R2E).

In 1974, a keyboard and screen were fitted to the Micral computers.



In 1986, three judges at The Computer Museum, Boston – Apple II designer
and Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Wozniak, early MITS employee and PC
World publisher David Bunnell, and the museum's associate director and
curator Oliver Strimpel – awarded the title of "first personal computer
using a microprocessor" to the 1973 Micral.[3] The Micral N was the
earliest commercial, non-kit personal computer based on a microprocessor
(in this case, the Intel 8008).[4]

The Computer History Museum currently says that the Micral is one of the
earliest commercial, non-kit personal computers.[5] The 1971 Kenbak-1,
invented before the first microprocessor, is considered to be the
world's first "personal computer". That machine did not have a one-chip
CPU but instead was based purely on small-scale integration TTL
chips.[6]
