Description

Original Apple Macintosh 128K computer from 1984, Model No. M0001, Serial No. F4473G3M0001, with the FCC ID plate on the back, and the serial number label affixed underneath the front bezel. The serial number indicates that this Macintosh was the 4015th manufactured during the 47th week of 1984 in Fremont, California. Includes its partial original box and styrofoam packing material, along with its power cable, Macintosh Mouse (M0100), Macintosh Keyboard (M0110), floppy disks, manuals, invoice, and unused decals. The computer and accessories are in very good to fine cosmetic condition, with some adhesive remnants to cables and expected age toning; the original box is scuffed and missing portions of the top.

The Macintosh 128K was the first in the line of Apple's Macintosh computers. It offered a radically new approach which featured a graphical user interface (GUI), built-in screen, and mouse-all of which revolutionized the user's experience, marking the transition from command-line computing to a point-and-click model. The Macintosh was famously announced in one of the most-viewed Super Bowl advertisements of all time, '1984.'

This would likely have been one of the last Macintosh 128K computers to feature the "Macintosh" badge on the back, as the majority made after November 1984 have the "Macintosh 128K" label on the back of the case. A desirable example that represents a landmark in Apple and personal computing history.
