Macintosh 128K, Apple’s first Mac, turns 40 years old. This “all-in-one” computer was the pioneer in offering a graphical user interface with windows, icons and mouse, which facilitated use and personal creativity.

It sold for $2,500 since January 24, 1984, after a shocking advertising campaign.

Prior to the Macintosh 128K, Apple had released other computers, such as the Apple I, Apple II, and Apple III, between 1976 and 1980, but none had the success or influence of the Mac. Neither did the Apple Lisa, another more expensive and business-oriented all-in-one, which came out in 1983.

The Macintosh 128K had a Motorola 68000 CPU, 128 KB of RAM, a 512 x 342 pixel display and the Mac OS 1.0 operating system. It was the forerunner of a line of products that Apple continues to maintain to this day.
