Apple Macintosh Portable - From the Collection of Apple Product Manager Dennis Gobets Original Apple Macintosh Portable computer (40MB) personally owned by Apple production manager Dennis Gobets. This early Apple laptop, Model M5120, Serial no. F3026N43M58, measures approximately 15.25″ x 14.25″ x 4″ when closed, with a monochrome screen, 80-key keyboard with numeric keypad, built-in trackball mouse, 1MB of memory, and 40 MB of storage. The unit includes its original battery, Apple carrying case, an ‘Apple Desktop Bus Mouse,’ and two name tags. The original power cord is no longer present. The computer is sold as is and is in fine, untested condition, with a small chip to the left side. Apple's very first battery-powered computer, the Macintosh Portable was a total failure when it was released in 1989. It was slow, expensive, and heavy—earning the unwanted nickname 'The Luggable' due to its 16-pound weight and less than one hour of battery life. While voted one of the worst tech gadgets of all time, the Portable holds the title as the first computer to ever send an email from space. It did, however, pave the way for the Powerbook 100—which has since been named the 10th greatest personal computer of all time.

Estim. 500 - 700 EUR

Osborne 1A Portable Computer Osborne 1A portable computer manufactured by Osborne Computer Corporation and released circa 1982. The Osborne 1A was released a year after the original Osborne 1 as a minor update, which included a more durable case and a few minor styling tweaks. Housed in a rugged ‘sewing machine’ plastic case, 19.5″ x 8.5″ x 14.5″, the computer comprises a small 4.75-inch monochrome monitor flanked on either side by two floppy disk drives. The unit’s CPU is a Zilog Z80A that runs at 4 MHz, with 64 kilobytes of main memory. Once unlatched, the bottom cover reveals the computer’s keyboard. The back bears the carrying handle and a compartment that opens to reveal the Osborne parts label, which lists the model as “OCC1” and the serial number as “CA 114161.” The power cord is included. In very good to fine condition, with scattered scuffs and marks to the case; the unit turns on but is untested for functionality. In 1981, Adam Osborne produced what is generally considered to be the first truly portable computer. Although, technically, a few other ‘portable’ machines came before it, the Osborne was the first portable CP/M system, and the first ‘affordable’ portable computer. It was therefore the first portable computer to achieve widespread use. The Osborne 1 managed at its peak to sell 10,000 units per month and by the fall of 1981, the company had reached its first month of a million dollars in sales.
