Evolution of the Mac<br />
1. Macintosh Portable (September-1989)<br />
“The power to be your best.<br />
Even when there’s no power”,<br />
was the theme line of the print<br />
ad of the Macintosh Portable. It<br />
was Apple’s first tryst in the portable<br />
computer market. However,<br />
it got a lukewarm response<br />
because of its bulky design and<br />
slow performance. It was sold<br />
for around $6500.<br />
3. PowerBook Duo 210 (October-1992)<br />
2. PowerBook 100 (October-1991)<br />
The PowerBook was designed<br />
and manufactured by Sony<br />
for Apple. PowerBook received<br />
pretty good response<br />
from users, despite its slow performance.<br />
But the design<br />
played an important role in its<br />
success. It was then followed<br />
by PowerBook 140 and Power-<br />
Book 170. It was sold for<br />
around $2500.<br />
It was a new breed of portables<br />
by Apple. The main idea behind<br />
the PowerBook Duo 210 was to<br />
give a fully fledged desktop<br />
computer, which can also be<br />
used as a portable computer.<br />
Later on, Apple launched Duo-<br />
Dock. DuoDock allowed Duo<br />
machines to expand its features<br />
instantly, like more VRAM and<br />
larger hard drive.
13. MacBook (May-2006)<br />
Macbook came in two colors<br />
Black and White. Macbook<br />
received a speed upgrade from<br />
Apple. Apple installed Intel core<br />
2 Duo processors in the new Macbook<br />
series. MacBook was<br />
launched in 3 configurations<br />
and was sold for around $1099,<br />
$1299 and $1499<br />
15. MacBook Pro (with<br />
Retina Display) (June-2012)<br />
MacBook Pro with the Retina<br />
Display is the latest gift from<br />
Apple to its users. This version<br />
is similar to the other Mac-<br />
Book Pro versions, but Apple<br />
took a giant leap forward by<br />
introducing Retina Display in<br />
its MacBook Pro line. We<br />
have seen Retina Display in<br />
Apple’s iPhone and iPad<br />
only.<br />
14. MacBook Air<br />
(January-2008)<br />
MacBook Air was clearly the<br />
most sophisticated and the<br />
thinnest notebook ever released<br />
by Apple. It was the ultimate<br />
ultra-thin-high-end—ultra-portable<br />
notebook. Although<br />
Apple had to give up<br />
the optical drive for this, yet it<br />
didn’t stop consumers from<br />
buying it. Macbook Air received<br />
appreciation from bloggers<br />
and reviewers around the<br />
globe. It was sold for around<br />
$1799.
