Computers like Commodore 64 or Sinclair Spectrum were relatively affordable and available in the 80's. They disappeared in the early 90's (replaced by PC compatibles), that answer is only a few years off.

The TRS ("trash") 80 also.

Shout out to the Amiga: expensive, different, and interesting. Apple and Mac classic were 2 of those things.
