Celebrating the 30th birthday of the Mac(intosh): a 30-year infographic

With the Macintosh celebrating its 30th birthday today, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the notable Macs we’ve seen over the past thirty years.

For each year, we’ve picked one notable machine. For some years, it was very hard to choose just one! Where prices are shown, the ‘equivalent’ price in brackets is the approximate cost of the machine in today’s money.

If you have fond memories of any of these machines, or any other Macs along the way, please share them in the comments …
