Apple, Macintosh Portable & Apple PowerBook (jan 17, 1989 – jan 17, 1989)
Description:
In 1989, Apple released its first portable personal computer with a 9.8-inch 640×400 black and white display screen and a storage capacity of 40 MB. It was considered Apple’s worst product ever as the storage could save only a dozen photos at most; it was also deemed ugly with its white outer covering and weight of about 7.2 kg.After the failure of its first model, Apple revised its concepts and published the PowerBook in 1991. The industry took a double-take at the look and feel of the laptop model they created. It was compact in dark grey cases, and the alignment of the screen, keypad, and pointer was what took the cake; as it was similar to modern designs.
