Apple Newton (1993)
The original iPad. Released in 1993, the Newton was an all-in-one portable office that could send faxes (remember those?), splutter out emails, store your clients’ details, take notes and other relevant stuff. Anyway, its man claim to fame was its ability to read handwriting (via stylus input). Unfortunately, this feature was less reliable then your weed dealer. Also, it cost $1000 bucks.

I don't understand, trashing 30 years old computers, saying that they're too big and not fast enough? Just lame. Thought I agree on that mouse :)

Yeah but all mac mice have only one button...it's like a mac thing...so why bother with mentioning that one since Mac had already manufactured many one-buttoned mice prior to 1998? And "What about right cluck" only makes you sound stupid...PC's have the right "cluck?" and this is a mac so...
Steve Jobs has that Alien like villainous thing going for him...even the sneakers. Spooky

Picture #3 is not a Macintosh Portable, a picture of which can be found on Wikipedia under "Macintosh Portable".
In fact, I'm not sure what it is but it looks like an Apple ][ variant. Anyone else know?
dewshaft,
Mystery solved, picture #3 is a Lisa 2/Macintosh XL, which was a short lived successor to the original Lisa and a step to the early Macintosh.

izismile- as usual, you're full of crap on most of these observations.
some selections-
"apple newton" devices are always going to be short-lived. just like the latest thing that's in your pocket.
and criticising the hand-writing AI of the time is... allow me to say it- retarded. and short-sighted. and forgetful. as if hand-writing recognition should have appeared perfect out of the box and should not have had to undergo any transitional phases...
#3 is obviously not a macintosh portable, you moron. even for a person who had never seen a portable computer before, you should have enough brain cells to realise that #3 was not designed to be 'portable'.
i know, i know... this is only a glorified link that you posted. but as usual, one which you showed zero sense in posting.
(and BTW, i'm a dedicated PC user)

You guys realize that when there are captions for pictures, they are being copied and pasted from the sources. Izi staff isn't coming up with them.
