Micral N
This was the first in a series of microcomputers produced by the French company Réalisation d'Études Électroniques. This was the earliest commercial, personal computer based on a microprocessor, this had helped the evolution of the PC by allowing other companies to see what this company had done to make their design so small compared to other computers and based on this information they could make improvements and help evolve the PC.
