The IBM Aptiva personal computer was introduced in September 1994 as the replacement for the IBM PS/1. The last system was withdrawn in May 2001 without direct replacement when IBM decided to get out of the home market. Customers where directed to the IBM NetVista, which was more targeted to business desktops.

Aptiva computers where typically sold as a bundle which included monitor, speakers, light-weight office software and games.

Sound and modem functionality was often provided by an IBM Mwave adapter.
