Not really... the OP101 was priced at about $26k in 2021 dollars. The Apple I was priced at about $3250, which meant it was affordable for hobbyist purposes.

It was also mostly complete out of the box, didn't need to be programmed via switches on the front panel, and could be used for actual tasks right away.

Its combination of low cost, high feature count, and out of the box usefulness is why it usually gets referred to as the start of the personal computer industry.
