All generations of MacBook shown in one video
Miscellaneous / / April 27, 2023
35 years of Apple laptop evolution in one video.
Youtuber Mrwhostheboss decided to complete an unusual quest: collect all the significant generations of Apple laptops and launch them. Such a collection cost him 30 thousand dollars, and the output was a video full of nostalgia for old computers.
The video starts with a 1989 Macintosh Portable. This is not quite a laptop yet - rather a massive candy bar, to which they added input devices and a carrying handle. But the next model, the PowerBook 100, released in 1991, is much more like modern models. Apple itself did not pull such a transition: Sony was engaged in production.
Two more major upgrades to the PowerBook followed, until Apple introduced the iBook in 1999, a more budget-friendly laptop in a translucent case. In 2001, however, PowerBooks returned again with the G4, which already looks like a MacBook, although too thick by today's standards. It's also the first model with a metal body - and the forefather of the MacBook Pro line.
The first MacBook was shown in 2006, the same year the first MacBook Pro was released. And the iconic MacBook Air came out later, only in 2008. And since then, all three lines have developed in parallel, becoming more powerful and more compact every year.
