Apple Lisa (1983)
The Lisa was actually pretty groundbreaking for its time – it was one of the first personal computers to utilise a graphical user interface (ie: on screen icons), came with a mouse, and could multi-task across programs. All very impressive for 1983. The $10 thousand price tag was considerably less impressive. In today’s terms it equates to approximately $22 thousand. Ouch.

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.
