This is a 1984-85 ad. Epson's 1st "laptop" had a pathetic LCD display about the size of today's thumb drive. Kaypro or Osborne "laptops" were not very different in terms of portability. Our first machine was an Orborne Exec, which never had great after-sales because the company went bankrupt soon after launching it. For a tiny display about the size of iPhone 6s plus, no graphics, and only 124 kb RAM - a MACHINE weighing ~30 lbs was too heavy to be called a laptop.

Where I was born in Chile we had a Panasonic dot matrix printer at home and it was slow on windows 3.11 printing on Microsoft Word 6.0. However my younger brother John when we came in Australia in April 2000 decided to use the same printer on the DOS program Edit and it worked really fast. The good thing about the dot matrix printers is that it uses pins and a band of ink that can be used to print in a second paper provided that between both papers are some carbon paper to make another copy of the first paper. It was really amazing. All by using pins to make the printing.
I was born in '87. It's incredible how far technology went in 30 years. Witnessing the born of Internet, cellphones and to be able to experience that change was awesome, and brings a lot of nostalgia.
You are too young! You are born into technology. We are saw the born of technology, who born in the 70s. I was born in 1975. My first PC was an IBM PS/2 in 1987, before that I had a Commodore 64, a Zx Spectrum and a Videoton Computer (Videoton TVC). I saw the born of the Pc technology, you are only withnessed the rise of the technology. I first use intenet in 1994, I bought my first cellular in 1995. I bought my first digital camera in 1999. I used PDA in 2001, and now? I haven't got smartphone, not use facebook, I haven't got smartwatch, not using twitter etc... I saw the rise of technology and I saw enough to not use modern technology!
@@polipollyconsulting Being younger than you does not exclude the fact that I've gone through an electronic and computer revolution. Also, we are just 12 years apart, so how can you talk like you experienced so much more than me? You can't deny the fact that a lot of electronic and digital devices were MASSIFIED in the 80's and early 90's and that's what I was talking about. The massification of affordable personal devices was revolutionary.

erik schaepers Apparently Steve Jobs really wanted to call the Macintosh "The Bicycle" but was persuaded to change it www.theurbancountry.com/2012/01/how-apples-macintosh-almost-became.html
+Strider Thing is, if you look at "portable" computers of the time the Macintosh was as portable as they were despite not being really marketed that way.
Most computers back then weren't much bigger, the difference is the Macintosh had the whole computer in one piece with the monitor, most computers back then had the keyboard and monitor and tower as 3 separate pieces and so it wasn't very portable. But they had laptops already by then, and even the early Commodore PET was all in one piece, that was around 1978.
And you would have to be stupid to buy one, truth is any moron can use a computer, phone or tech device these days as they are made easy to use for the general dumb dumb's of today.

That's what makes it so good though. It's easy to make something complicated, but harder to make it simple. And why have something more complicated when you can have something more simple.
Back then most jobs were manual The economy wasn't digital. The prices where high. So most pc or computers Where used in universities Banks . Business After 84 Microsoft changed everything. They created the simplest software for the average daily use.
CARLOS SANTOS REY Y SACERDOTE nah, people were way tougher back then. People were carrying around “mobile” phones which were the size of 3 litre Coke bottles.
My first PC was a Packard Bell 286 with a 13" CGA color monitor (PC color monitors were uncommon in 1987). DOS was its OS. 1200 dollars and that was considered a grand deal at a time when the Mac was going for 3,000 dollars. I still hold fond memories for the machine and the related software , primitive as it were.
I had an 8088 Pc Clone with a monochome monitor. Upgraded it until the wheels fell off and bought a 486 dx 33 for around $1k. It had a whopping 80mb hard drive and then upgraded to a cd rom at a later date for a whopping $400.

For someone who grew up in the 1980s, I can feel "immersed" at how computer technology have improved so drastically. Wow ! Can't believe it's been that long. It only feels like yesterday. Thanks for this video.
All These calamity's that are going on around the world will lead to a Sunday Law Which will The Mark Of The Beast, Those that keep Gods seventh day sabbath will be prohibited from buying and sell and persecuted. Jesus is coming are you ready?
How were they liars? They never claimed that the machine had color and having color has nothing to do with power. The atari ST was released over a year later so comparing it with the original Mac is pointless.
I feel so lucky to have been an enthusiast during the late 70s and early to mid 80s when personal computers were "born," developing my hobby into a business which grew and developed over the next couple decades. Seeing early Apple and the development of PCs watching the technology improve was exciting to witness and be a part of as a computer 'nerd' at the time.
I was just a kid during this time, but my dad was a huge computer enthusiast. He hated Apple because of its closed architecture and high prices. (Mainly I think he was just jealous he couldn't afford one.) But we always had computers in my house. We got an Atari computer in the early 80s, followed by a Commodore 64. I'm extremely thankful because I've always made my living on computers and I had advantages other people didn't in my early career because I was comfortable with computers. My dad may have hated Apple, but I've become a huge fan and I can't get enough of reading about and watching videos about the early days of computers.
Everyone is using windows as an operating system, but.. with a mix of different circuitry and other hardware, all made by different manufacturers, when they open up their machines. Problems with windows can either be common relating to the operating system, but many more can relate only to a user's individual hardware and set up. This makes it hard for a microsoft to iron out everyone's personal computer problems. Compare this to apple, who are far more restrictive on what hardware you can install their operating systems on. In theory apple machines should have less technical issues as a result, with problems being easier to find and fix, but I have never owned an apple system to be able to compare.

Check out SCCS Interface and Interface Age, computer magazines from the mid 70s onwards. A good desktop today is 100000 times faster than those mid 70s 8080 6502 machines.
pc component manufacturing you mean. everything is improved by r&d and engineers. If not for that pc would not have changed at all. Again without them computers would still be as they were 36 years ago.
It seems to me that in terms of design of for example the laptop computer, we were set already in the mid 90s. The only difference between a year like 1995 and today is that in 95 it looked a bit clunkier and less slim.
"Optional disk drive and optional numeric pad" dear God, Apple has been selling "optional" hardware (that is supposed to come already with the computer to begin with) since the 80's 😨

@@subramaniantr2091 not sure the subtlety of that is noticeable to the masses but glad you pointed it out :) The Minor is like, 90% of the feel. In other words, a downer. Not an accident that adds rarely end with minor or minor 9ths
..the point you’re clearly getting at is that it’s odd for an add to end on a “depressing” chord, and I totally agree! Marketing types would never allow that today. Everything must be bubblegum and roses
I remember telling my high school computer teacher in 1978, after he told me he wouldn't except me into his computer course, that I wasn't concerned about it because in the next few years everyone would have a computer on their kitchen table or study desk at home! He scoffed and said that would never happen! Back in the 80's everytime I saw him at the supermarket shopping I said to myself...so what do you think now?? I remember the high school computer class mainframe filled a 10X10 room! Now its an empty storage room today next to personal computer classroom!
Sounds odd that a teacher would decline an interested student to any course, much less a computer course where only a certain personality type will show interest. What was his reasoning for declining your interest? I must admit, I was, by many criteria, a lousy student all my life. Only At the very end of my school career I learned how to be successful. However I am highly intelligent and if something sparked my interest I might do OK at it. I could also show white hot intellectual interest in things that caught my attention, but that didn't usually translate to aced tests or good grades, which is all most teachers want to see. I can see some problems with my elementary school performance, but can see some bright spots as well, if I had self evaluated myself I would have said I was "smart." However in fourth grade I was put in a program for "slow" students so obviously things were not going well. Somehow that year we were given IQ tests, which I remember possible as "The Iowa Tests," and my IQ score came back on that as "very high" although I never knew the number. That got me back to the regular class for fifth grade and the teacher there believed that number was proof of my promise, so in sixth grade I was put into "advance placement" class, without my knowing it. On the way in the first day of class, Mrs. Nagai stopped me. I had known her before and never realized there was a problem. She asked what I was doing there and I showed her my class schedule, wherein she informed me that there must be a mistake, this was an AP class and "you couldn't possibly keep up in this class." She let me in for the day and asked some questions of the principle, etc, wherein she was apparently told "He has promise, give him a chance," so I stayed. To my own surprise, being in class with "the smart kids" was good for me and I was successful there, I did better in that class than I normally did and actually did well.
If every company in the world designed their products around the idea that their customers either are too stupid or can't be bothered to go through a steep learning curve to use their products, the world would be full of wonderful products and happy people.

The good thing about the dot matrix printers is that it uses pins and a band of ink that can be used to print in a second paper provided that between both papers are some carbon paper to make another copy of the first paper. It was really amazing. All by using pins to make the printing.
besides, the "Imagewriter" did text only in that mode
Hase that's correct because the program Edit was on DOS operating system. I hope that is what you meant.

I was born in '87. It's incredible how far technology went in 30 years. Witnessing the born of Internet, cellphones and to be able to experience that change was awesome, and brings a lot of nostalgia.
You are too young! You are born into technology. We are saw the born of technology, who born in the 70s. I was born in 1975. My first PC was an IBM PS/2 in 1987, before that I had a Commodore 64, a Zx Spectrum and a Videoton Computer (Videoton TVC). I saw the born of the Pc technology, you are only withnessed the rise of the technology. I first use intenet in 1994, I bought my first cellular in 1995. I bought my first digital camera in 1999. I used PDA in 2001, and now? I haven't got smartphone, not use facebook, I haven't got smartwatch, not using twitter etc... I saw the rise of technology and I saw enough to not use modern technology!

Strider Mac Laptop
+Strider Thing is, if you look at "portable" computers of the time the Macintosh was as portable as they were despite not being really marketed that way.
Most computers back then weren't much bigger, the difference is the Macintosh had the whole computer in one piece with the monitor, most computers back then had the keyboard and monitor and tower as 3 separate pieces and so it wasn't very portable. But they had laptops already by then, and even the early Commodore PET was all in one piece, that was around 1978.

My first PC was a Packard Bell 286 with a 13" CGA color monitor (PC color monitors were uncommon in 1987). DOS was its OS. 1200 dollars and that was considered a grand deal at a time when the Mac was going for 3,000 dollars. I still hold fond memories for the machine and the related software , primitive as it were.
nobody asked you you privileged white
386 here, it was an IBM Ps2 lap top. Really really slow.
I had an 8088 Pc Clone with a monochome monitor. Upgraded it until the wheels fell off and bought a 486 dx 33 for around $1k. It had a whopping 80mb hard drive and then upgraded to a cd rom at a later date for a whopping $400.

I was thinking the same thing. 😆
No they were not greedy, not everyone needs numerical keyboard.
@Sid Sidnope wrong on not being greedy tell that to 1980 era folks where typing number are pretty much necessity for their job (even rich boss still used it for his personal spreadsheet) remember, this is 1980 i never found anyone who'd used it for pure entertainment at that era 99% are for their job related task
(yes, there's game for it but only sold less than that nintento or atari does)
ironically im glad these optional numberics are back.. full sized keyboards are mostly useless... rarely use numpad...
i think only time i have ever used numpad is civ 4x games and roguelikes, other than that.. numpad is useless af

SNO OZE well the problem is they were also liers in 84, the Mac cost twice as much as the Atari ST, which had the same CPU, but also had colour.
it costed around $2000+, so ..
How were they liars? They never claimed that the machine had color and having color has nothing to do with power.
The atari ST was released over a year later so comparing it with the original Mac is pointless.
SNO OZE powerful*
nah. there were all kinds of pcs out at the time that were cheaper and just as powerful if not more.
I feel so lucky to have been an enthusiast during the late 70s and early to mid 80s when personal computers were "born," developing my hobby into a business which grew and developed over the next couple decades. Seeing early Apple and the development of PCs watching the technology improve was exciting to witness and be a part of as a computer 'nerd' at the time.
Well, the Macintosh was a huge step forward.
I was just a kid during this time, but my dad was a huge computer enthusiast. He hated Apple because of its closed architecture and high prices. (Mainly I think he was just jealous he couldn't afford one.) But we always had computers in my house. We got an Atari computer in the early 80s, followed by a Commodore 64. I'm extremely thankful because I've always made my living on computers and I had advantages other people didn't in my early career because I was comfortable with computers. My dad may have hated Apple, but I've become a huge fan and I can't get enough of reading about and watching videos about the early days of computers.
I'm born in 1988 but somehow still feel a nostalgia over the 80s 😆

0:51 Microsoft doesn't work with new hardware very often... In 2015 it still doesn't
what do you mean ? well I'm not a tech savvy. so I didn't get yu. can you clarify ?
Everyone is using windows as an operating system, but.. with a mix of different circuitry and other hardware, all made by different manufacturers, when they open up their machines. Problems with windows can either be common relating to the operating system, but many more can relate only to a user's individual hardware and set up. This makes it hard for a microsoft to iron out everyone's personal computer problems.
Compare this to apple, who are far more restrictive on what hardware you can install their operating systems on. In theory apple machines should have less technical issues as a result, with problems being easier to find and fix, but I have never owned an apple system to be able to compare.
It doesn't always work on old hardware either...

It is truly insane how far computers have come in the 36 year since this was made.
Check out SCCS Interface and Interface Age, computer magazines from the mid 70s onwards.
A good desktop today is 100000 times faster than those mid 70s 8080 6502 machines.
pc component manufacturing you mean. everything is improved by r&d and engineers. If not for that pc would not have changed at all.
Again without them computers would still be as they were 36 years ago.
36 years is long time in fact by 2010 itself computers became thinner than a pencil 😂
It seems to me that in terms of design of for example the laptop computer, we were set already in the mid 90s.
The only difference between a year like 1995 and today is that in 95 it looked a bit clunkier and less slim.
Now imagine civilizations that figured it out computers a thousand years ago... Let that sink in...

whats amazing about this is that the final advertisement that ends at the 2:46 mark ends on a minor chord. Have you ever heard a commercial selling a product that ends on a minor chord before? wow
That's an m add9. A minor would have meant : The End. While m add9 tells. There is more to it than you see, here is the chord of suspense.
@@subramaniantr2091 not sure the subtlety of that is noticeable to the masses but glad you pointed it out :) The Minor is like, 90% of the feel. In other words, a downer. Not an accident that adds rarely end with minor or minor 9ths
..the point you’re clearly getting at is that it’s odd for an add to end on a “depressing” chord, and I totally agree! Marketing types would never allow that today. Everything must be bubblegum and roses
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that Bill Gates was 29 years old in this video... 29!!
I remember telling my high school computer teacher in 1978, after he told me he wouldn't except me into his computer course, that I wasn't concerned about it because in the next few years everyone would have a computer on their kitchen table or study desk at home! He scoffed and said that would never happen!
Back in the 80's everytime I saw him at the supermarket shopping I said to myself...so what do you think now??
I remember the high school computer class mainframe filled a 10X10 room! Now its an empty storage room today next to personal computer classroom!
Sounds odd that a teacher would decline an interested student to any course, much less a computer course where only a certain personality type will show interest. What was his reasoning for declining your interest? I must admit, I was, by many criteria, a lousy student all my life. Only At the very end of my school career I learned how to be successful. However I am highly intelligent and if something sparked my interest I might do OK at it. I could also show white hot intellectual interest in things that caught my attention, but that didn't usually translate to aced tests or good grades, which is all most teachers want to see. I can see some problems with my elementary school performance, but can see some bright spots as well, if I had self evaluated myself I would have said I was "smart." However in fourth grade I was put in a program for "slow" students so obviously things were not going well. Somehow that year we were given IQ tests, which I remember possible as "The Iowa Tests," and my IQ score came back on that as "very high" although I never knew the number. That got me back to the regular class for fifth grade and the teacher there believed that number was proof of my promise, so in sixth grade I was put into "advance placement" class, without my knowing it. On the way in the first day of class, Mrs. Nagai stopped me. I had known her before and never realized there was a problem. She asked what I was doing there and I showed her my class schedule, wherein she informed me that there must be a mistake, this was an AP class and "you couldn't possibly keep up in this class." She let me in for the day and asked some questions of the principle, etc, wherein she was apparently told "He has promise, give him a chance," so I stayed. To my own surprise, being in class with "the smart kids" was good for me and I was successful there, I did better in that class than I normally did and actually did well.
Yes I'll ride on my bike with an expensive Macintosh in a bag everyone recognizes. Easy target for thieves.
