家庭用 컴퓨터
또는
홈 컴퓨터
(
home computer
)는 家庭에서 主로 使用될 目的으로 만들어진
컴퓨터
를 一般的으로 指稱하는 말이다.
오늘날 事業用 컴퓨터와 家庭用 컴퓨터 市場의 差異는 完全히 사라졌는데, 이는 이 두 部類의 컴퓨터들이 一般的으로 同一한 프로세서 救助, 周邊機器, 運營 體制, 應用 프로그램을 使用하고 있기 때문이다. 家庭用 컴퓨터 時代에서의 또다른 變化는 家庭用 컴퓨터를 利用할 때 自身만의 소프트웨어 프로그램을 記錄하려는 努力을 거의 들일 必要가 없다는 點이다.

In 1978 a Z80 based home computer called the
Exidy Sorcerer
was introduced, starting at $895. It was similar to the TRS-80 but ran the industry standard
CP/M
operating system. Also in 1978, in Japan,
Sharp
introduced its
Sharp MZ
computer aimed at consumers. It was the first of a series of Z80 machines which sold well in Europe. Later in 1982 Sharp launched its similar but more advanced
X1
. Another early and (relatively) inexpensive Z80 computer was the
Heathkit H89
first available in 1979. It cost $2295 preassembled or $1595 as a kit. It used its own OS called HDOS but later CP/M became standard.

In late 1979 Apple upgraded its Apple II with the II Plus. Tandy/Radio Shack replaced its Model I with the shielded, all-in-one Model III, which added a few new features. This period is unique because for the first time used computers became available, as owners upgraded to newer models. Users satisfied with older technology but interested in saving money could find bargains not only for the computers but also for peripherals. Technically savvy individuals often found that newer technology could be retrofitted to obsolete computers. In the Netherlands in 1982, a small firm called MCP (Music Computer Products) made a hybrid Model III-CP/M computer they called the
Aster CT-80
, which was notably advanced.

In October 1983 the
Coleco Adam
was developed from the Colecovision game console. It caused a commotion in the market with advanced features (Z80 chip with 64KB memory and CP/M capability, color graphics, decent keyboard and letter-quality printer), an existing large library of game programs, and an affordable price, but suffered from major technical deficiencies. The
Commodore 16
was a low-end machine meant to compete against the TI,
Mattel Aquarius
, and Timex/Sinclair computers. It lost importance when these competitors were withdrawn. Further, it was technically related to the failed business-oriented
Commodore Plus/4
and was incompatible with the VIC-20 and C-64, which doomed it to obscurity. Atari also produced the
600XL
, a smaller companion to the 800XL. It had 16 KB RAM but was otherwise similar. Tandy/Radio Shack also produced the ultra-cheap lesser-known
MC-10
. In the UK, Acorn produced its
Electron
, which was a budget version of the BBC Micro, and Dragon Data in Wales produced a Color Computer workalike based on the 6809, the
Dragon 32
. In Japan, Fujitsu marketed the Coco-like
FM-7
.

See text below for descriptions of other popular PCs for the home market: Epson Equity, Leading Edge Models M and D, Hyundai Blue Chip, Amstrad PC-1512, Zenith eaZy PC, and Commodore and Atari PC-compatibles. Also during this period Apple introduced its
Apple IIc
and Tandy/Radio Shack the last of its Z80 powered line, the TRS-80 Model 4D.

In late 1990 Apple produced its
Macintosh LC
(Low Cost), which was meant to compete with cheap PCs for the home and small business markets. It was priced around $3000 with a color monitor. The Commodore 64 was repackaged as the C-64C, the Atari 800XL was repackaged as the Atari 65XE, and an enhanced version with 128 KB of banked RAM was produced as the Atari 130XE. The Atari STs evolved into the 32-bit
TT030
and
Falcon
, and Amigas likewise grew into various models (
A600
,
A1200
,
A2000
,
A3000
,
A4000
) with 32-bit 680x0 CPUs with faster clock rates and megabytes of RAM. In Japan, in 1987
Sharp
produced its advanced
X68000
strictly for the Japanese market. All these updated computer lines, 8-, 16-, and 32-bit, continued to sell into the early 1990s.
