Resolves based on the marketing for relatively inexpensive computers targeted at non-technical users. They don't have to actually *be* quantum computers, it could just be marketing nonsense. A single instance is not sufficient to resolve this market, it needs to a consistent feature of marketing by a large company comparable to what Apple or Microsoft is today.
Answers should be a year number, such as "2030". If multiple people submit answers for the same year and that year ends up winning, I'll choose the answer that was submitted first.

Hmm, interesting. I think those count as isolated instances, not mainstream enough for me to resolve. Still, it shows that this could happen much sooner than I expected.
I wonder if I should only be counting things that seem like they're actually trying to make people think there's something quantum going on (like all the quantum annealing hype that got presented as true quantum computing), and exclude obvious buzzword titles like those.
