The Macintosh Portable was Apple’s first notebook, or perhaps more accurately a 1st attempt at a more easily portable Macintosh. The Mac Portable sold for $6,500 when it was introduced in 1989 and weighed in at a massive 15.8 lbs.
See how it stacks up to Apple’s newest notebook, the MacBook Air at the link below…in French, but mostly readable.

Imagine a 15.8 lb. netbook today? It would be good for chiropractors at least.
$6,500 sounds like a lot even today, but in the late 80′s that was a huge investment for such a device.
