Date: 1978

In a sign of computers’ increasing importance to business, Hewlett-Packard designed the 250 Business Computer to offer small businesses “an approachable computer that is friendly, simple, and interactive” for first-time users. The device’s integrated desk design would be set aside in later models in favor of packaging the CPU, monitor and keyboard as separate component.
