The Apple II was introduced at the West Coast Computer Fair. Memory ran to 64K in the top-end models and the image it sent to the NTSC display stretched to a truly impressive 280 x 192, which was then considered high resolution.

The Apple III computer for business was created primarily to compete with business computing companies like IBM.
-
While Lisa won the legendary race between itself and the Macintosh by being the first desktop computer to market with an intuitive GUI, it flopped with the public due to sticker shock at its $10,000 price tag and a lack of software titles.
-
The Apple IIe keyboard was built in to the computer and did away with the numeric keypad.
-
The Macintosh, for most of us, was the computer that started it all. In the first demonstration of the product at MacWorld, Steve Jobs pulled the very first Macintosh out of the bag and demonstrated product features that most of us take for granted now.
-
The Apple IIc represented Apple’s first attempt at both a portable computer and “out-of-the-box” functionality. The only problem with classifying the IIc as a “portable” computer is the fact that it lacked a portable power supply.

12,000 of these were produced. Apple broke the moulds and didn’t make any more in order to make the product seem more “exclusive”, a strategy that did not help the TAM’s sales numbers.
-
In doing away with the tower and keeping the computing power, Apple completely revolutionized the desktop computer industry.
-
This computer got rid of the trey.
-
The iMac G4 was produced from 2000-2004 and represents the first iteration of Apple’s desire to “slim down” the components necessary for an out of the box personal computer experience.
-
The G5 lacked the swivel functionality of the G4 but introduced the “behind-the-screen” component design principle which characterized future iMac designs
-
The current iMac models pack all of the components necessary to the operation of a computer behind the monitor in a perfect realization of “slim design”
