A complete analysis of Apple Macintosh 128K

Exactly 30 years ago the first line of computer Macintosh . The main difference was the presence of a computer graphical user interface, the main manipulator was a mouse.

Compare the Macintosh changed in 30 years. Mac first display was black and white diagonal 9 "512h342 pixel resolution. Now we have 21, 5 "display with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.




Modern external Thunderbolt interface has a speed of 20Gbit, previously used as a serial port, and speed is measured in thousands of bits. The same can only power plug.




Over 30 years of progress peripherals significantly transformed. The size has changed significantly and there are no wires.
When there was a graphical user interface, the keyboard to remove the arrows that users often use the mouse.










If there are good tools to screw easy reach.
















The back panel is made of solid plastic. After removing it, we see autographs developers: Steven Jobs, Woz, Bill Atkinson, Andy Hertzfeld, Bruce Horn, Jef Raskin others. Just as artists sign their paintings.

██ Motorola MC68000G8 Microprocessor
██ Fairchild Semiconductor 74LS393 Video Counter
██ Micron 4264 64 kb RAM (64 kb x 16 chips = 1,024 kb, or 128 KB)
██ Simtek C19728 and C19729 32 KB ROM (32 KB x 2 ICs = 64 KB)
██ Simtek 344-0041-A & quot; Integrated Woz Machine & quot; Disk Controller
