and the comodore 64 was a kit?


The 64 appeared much later.


True, but the Commodore PET was released in 1977. No assembly required. Another example is the Tandy TRS-80 Model I, also released in 1977.


Also, let's not forget the grand-daddy of the out-of-the-box-experience computer appliance -- the Atari 2600. Came out in 1977 too.
