The Model 50 received mixed reviews from users and the press at the time of its release, with critics citing its relative affordability and hardware innovations as points for it; and hardware bugs, slow number-crunching performance, and an even slower stock hard drive as points against it. However,

Novel to the Model 50's industrial design among its contemporaries in the PC arena is its largely tool-less method of disassembly. Two thumbscrews at the back of the unit allow the user to pull the lid off the Model 50. Inside, the hard disk and floppy disk drives are affixed to a platform resting

The Model 50 was the most inexpensive entry in the PS/2 line to feature Micro Channel architecture (MCA) expansion slots, featuring four MCA slots (compared to the Model 60's eight). As with any MCA-equipped PS/2 computer, it lacked the ability to take ISA expansion cards of any kind. The Model 50

Within the first year of its availability, IBM sold over 440,000 units of the Model 50, according to 349:
