MacUser magazine presents: Apple's first Mac 'portable' (aka luggable) computer, powered by a lead-acid batteryMacUser cover https://149426355.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/macportable.jpg A little history music Published 20 September 2019 <What the Mac Portable wasn’t was all that . . . portable. In the evocative parlance of the time, it was a luggable, weighing in at 13.75 pounds without a hard drive and 15.75 pounds with one. The starting price—again, without a hard disk—was $5,800, or more than twice the $2,495 that the Mac had debuted at a half-decade earlier.> [The VISIONARY] <The idea that a Macintosh should be more than a desktop computer had existed from the start: Steve Jobs had given the engineering team the goal “Mac in a book by 1986” before the first Mac shipped in 1984.> https://www.fastcompany.com/90406591/the-mac-portable-an-apple-flop-that-led-to-great-things-turns-30-today |
