I had an Apple IIe. Took two floppies (and I mean the really floppy kind) to boot it up as I recall. The floppy drive was separate from the computer and the keyboard was a part of the CPU. Monochrome monitor.
I had a few games that I would play on it but that was pretty much it.
For college I got an IBM “laptop” which also had a monochrome monitor which flipped up and which was about the same size and weight of my current CPU. Played Tetris on that, and did some word processing.
Commodore 64 with the old large floppies, for programs, and a joystick. I paid quite a bit extra to get a color dot matrix printer, and never printed color.
I upgraded from that to a 486 Packard Bell with Windows for Workgroups, and was blown away.
My first was an Apple Performa 575. It came with a keyboard and mouse. I added a Prometheus modem I can’t remember how fast, but not very. It was 1994 and AOL was all I knew of the internet.
I met my husband there.
Compukit UK101, 1979. 1K RAM.
Apart from the keyboard, the only peripheral we had was a magazine, from which we would copy in BASIC code from hours, then spend hours debugging all the GOTOs, then play Space Invaders for 10 minutes before pulling the plug. Storage? We don’t need no steenking storage.
It would take you hours to type in a 1K program? I do hope your typing speed has improved. 
BTW, in the 10 years or so that I actively used my Spectrum, I never once got a program to save to tape successfully. I used to write programs and then leave the computer running for days at a time becuase I didn’t want to lose the code. The only method of saving it I had was LLIST, the Sinclair BASIC command to print the program listing on the astro-bogroll printer. 
My dad bought our first computer in 1992. It was a whitebox AMD 486 DX2 80 MHz* system with 8 MB of RAM and a 540 MB hard drive, running Windows 3.11. It had a 14.4 Kbps internal modem for hot AOL dial-up action, and a Gravis 5-button joystick, which I used to play a lot of X-Wing and Mechwarrior II. We also had a HP DeskJet 660c printer, which I really liked compared to my school’s printers because you didn’t have to swap ink cartridges between color and black and white.
As far as first computer that was personally mine, it was a 350 MHz AMD K6-2+ system with a 8 MB ATI Rage Pro video card I built myself. I don’t remember the other specs. It changed a lot since I liked to tinker with salvaged parts from other computers. It was never really stable though, probably due to a questionable power supply and memory.
Correction, 1994, when I was in fourth grade. AMD didn’t even make 486 processors until 1993.
A Royal Alphatronic, bought somewhere in the vicinity of 1985 at a warehouse store. The package contained the computer, amber monitor, one 320K disk drive, CP/M, Basic, and word processing and spreadsheet software from Peachtree.
My most vivid memory of the contraption was trying to hook up a printer, since it had a port configuration not found in nature. I eventually had a cable specially made, which may have cost more than the computer itself.
From there I graduated to two different versions of the Laser 128, before being assimilated into the collective because work demanded it.
