Between 1984 and 1992, Apple introduced key innovations in personal computing. The Macintosh 128K (1984) brought graphical user interfaces to the mass market.
The Macintosh Portable (1989), though bulky, marked a significant step in mobile computing. The PowerBook (1991) refined this with a sleek design and features like a trackball and keyboard-forward layout, shaping future laptops. This era established Apple’s reputation for design and innovation in computing.
