My estimate of working, configured, post-assembly line computers would be 1-Billion 100-Million.

While it might not answer your specific question, here's a website that might give you an idea of what sort of numbers we're talking about here.

Enjoy!

First you have to define what you consider a computer - almost any home or office device that you purchase today contains more computing power than what was generally for sale as a computer just 10 years ago. Unless you narrow your question a lot, there is no real answer that would not be wrong as soon as it was written.

a single company named Wuhan in China is set to produce 60 million desk top computers per year.
