Brand: Apple (16 machines)
A bit of history
Apple Computer was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne with the ambition of making computers accessible beyond laboratories and specialist workshops. The Apple I was followed by the highly successful Apple II, one of the machines that established the personal-computer market.
In 1984 the Macintosh brought the graphical user interface and mouse-driven computing to a much wider audience. After a difficult period during the 1990s, Apple returned to prominence through the iMac and a renewed focus on industrial design. The foundations created by the Macintosh later expanded into a closely integrated ecosystem of computers, mobile devices, software and services.
On display here are 16 Apple machines from the collection. Open a card to see its photographs, present configuration and technical specifications.

Macintosh II
The Macintosh II is a personal computer designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer from March 1987 to January 1990. Based on the Motorola 68020 32-bit CPU, it is the first Macintosh supporting color graphics. When introduced, a basic system with monitor and 20 MB hard drive cost US$5,498 (equivalent to $15,580 in 2025). With a 13-inch color monitor and 8-bit display card, the price was about US$7,145 (equivalent to $20,250 in 2025). This placed it in competition with workstations from Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, and Hewlett-Packard.
