$179 without numpad, $199 including. Then at some point towards the end of production they made the numpad standard.

Oh, and the 122-key Model F was $300 back in 1984.

Anyone know the IBM PC AT Model F original price?  

I believe we established the Displaywriter's board was over $1k.

The $1k figure was an estimation, I might try and dig up some info and find out how much they cost.

The AT Model F is something I have also been on the lookout for. If any vintage folks have access to product announcements or the like from IBM about the AT, or indeed any 80s-vintage IBM terminal, PC, workstation or otherwise, do let me know.

I remember a Finnish member giving us a concrete price for the XT Model F. Problem of course is converting 80s Finnish Marks to 80s Dollars, but I guesstimated that it was in the $300-400 region.

the pricing information in this thread is unclear. i found this thread thru google search because ive been wondering myself.

i am gathering, the price of a retail unit Model M in the mid 90's was:

150US$ (1995 vendor's asking price, same as IBM's official list price)

Is that about correct?
