* [[EDVAC]], conceived in June 1945 in ''[[First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC]]'', but not delivered until August 1949.
* [[BINAC]], delivered to a customer on 22 August 1949. It worked at the factory but there is disagreement about whether or not it worked satisfactorily after being delivered. If it had been finished at the projected time, it would have been the first stored-program computer in the world. It was the first stored-program computer in the U.S.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hally |first=Mike |title=Electronic Brains |date=2005 |pages=40-41 |isbn=978-1862076631 |publisher=[[Granta]] |edition=First}}</ref>
