The Apricot PC (originally called the ACT Apricot) is a personal computer produced by Apricot Computers, then still known as Applied Computer Techniques or ACT. Released in late 1983, it was ACT's first independently developed microcomputer, following on from the company's role of marketing and selling the ACT Sirius 1, and was described as "the first 16-bit system to be Sirius-compatible, rather than IBM-compatible", indicating the influence that the Sirius 1 had in the United Kingdom at the time.

| - The Apricot PC (originally called the ACT Apricot) is a personal computer produced by Apricot Computers, then still known as Applied Computer Techniques or ACT. Released in late 1983, it was ACT's first independently developed microcomputer, following on from the company's role of marketing and selling the ACT Sirius 1, and was described as "the first 16-bit system to be Sirius-compatible, rather than IBM-compatible", indicating the influence that the Sirius 1 had in the United Kingdom at the time. It achieved success in the United Kingdom, with reviewers noting the system's high resolution 800 × 400 display (for its time) and its trackball cable (later models used IR). It used an Intel 8086 processor running at 4.77 MHz. A 8087 math co-processor was optional. The amount of memory was 256 kB, expandable to 768 kB. It came with a CRT green-screen 9" with text mode 80 × 25 or graphics 800 × 400 pixels and was equipped with two floppy discs and a keyboard with an integrated LCD display. The Apricot Xi was a similar computer released in 1984, with a hard drive instead of a second floppy-drive. (en)

Incorporaba los gráficos del , que había sido vendido bajo la marca de Apricot (entonces ACT) y una base de hardware IBM PC, pero sin lograr clonar completamente la BIOS. Por ello aunque su sistema operativo es MS-DOS (se entrega también CP/M-86), intentar ejecutar un paquete como deviene en un cuelgue. La prensa lo recibe bien, sobre todo por su entonces alta resolución de 800 x 400 y por su trackball por cable (modelos futuros serán infrarrojos). Es además el primer ordenador no japonés en utilizar las unidades de 3,5 de Sony. Con el equipo se entrega SuperCalc, varias utilidades de sistema, comunicaciones asíncronas, un emulador de IBM PC, Microsoft Basic-86, Basic Personal y ACT Manager (una interfaz gráfica para MS-DOS). Opcionalmente puede comprarse Microsoft Word, Multiplan, WordStar, dBase II, C-Pascal, UCSD Pascal, C, Fortran, COBOL y el Basic Compiler 5.35. Apricot ofrecerá más adelante la posibilidad de convertir el equipo en un compatible IBM PC sustituyendo la placa madre por otra con CPU Intel 80286. (es)
