This is a list of home computers, sorted alphanumerically by manufacturer's name and chronologically by computer model. Note: in cases of manufacturers who have made both home and business-oriented personal computers, only machines fitting into the home [1] computer category are listed.

For a home computer list categorized by wordlength and CPU, see the list of home computers by category. For a home computer list categorized by Video Hardware capabilities , see the List of home computers by video hardware. For a list of microcomputers of the pre-home computer era, see the list of early microcomputers.

  1. ^ In this list a "home" computer is a factory-assembled consumer product, mass-marketed for general consumer use, usually at significantly lower cost than contemporary business computers, with an alphabetic keyboard, the ability to run both games software as well as application software and user-written programs, some external removable mass storage device (cassette or diskette), and excludes PDAs, laptop computers, and pure video game consoles. Single-board development or evaluation boards, intended to demonstrate a microprocessor, are excluded since these were not marketed to general consumers. This list also excludes the pioneering kit and assembled hobby microcomputers which generally required electronics skills to build or operate.
