The Coming Crisis in Home Computers (1983)
To be fair, prices dropping that low is a relatively recent phenomenon. A fully working and useful general purpose computer (including display) was never less than like 5-700 for most of the 90s and 00s in my experience.

I remember cheap 286 and 386’s for $1200/1400, but I don’t remember computers getting down to $500 until eMachines in 1999/2000

I'm not saying it was always that low, but that's the lowest I ever saw it get.
