Apple I

The Apple I is an early personal computer and the first to combine a keyboard with a microprocessor and a monitor connection.

The Apple I was designed by Steve Wozniak for personal use. A friend of Wozniak's, Steve Jobs, came up with the idea of selling the computer. The Apple company was born in April 1976.

Retail price was $ 666.66 and approximately 200 units were produced.

Unlike other computers of the time, the Apple I was a fully assembled printed circuit board with about 30 chips. An optional board that provided an interface for cassette storage was later released for a price of $ 75.

The use of a keyboard and a monitor on the Apple I was characteristic and made it an innovative device.
