- This is an edited version of a promotional video produced by Apple Computer in 1984 to launch the Mac. Surprisingly, Steve Jobs does NOT make an appearance in this video. It is BILL GATES that we see extolling the virtues and future of the Mac. A fun bit of history!

1:52 "And if you travel, Macintosh can EASY go along." *Puts microwave in the backpack*
Hey if a computer is small enough to be biked across town by a delicate lady --- then take my money
I still have mine... it's incredible she doesn't seem to struggle with the weight
"and if you want to travel, this Refrigerator can easily go along..."
that was the YETI 1.0 cooler
Maybe for this promo, it was just only case she was holding in that basket, and they rip off all electronics, so she doesn't cringe with it's heavy weight :)
Look at Gates when he was juts a poor millionaire.
@@DromeG60 shut up poor kid he was a millionaire at that time.
@@nativetube No he was cleaning windows at that time for food.
Where is the life in the life you lead you are the poor millionaire 🎵🎶🎧
He never looked rich, like jeff bezos. Money doesn't change your face
Money changes everything. Especially your face.
She was the only person in the world to ever ride a bike with a full size Macintosh while wearing a business suit.
Same thought. Actually that setting with a lady looks more copenhagenian than american.
Looks very dangerous. If she was in a collision (and let's face it, it's gonna happen pretty soon) the monitor would also be at risk of explosion.

It's all an ever evolving process. It's good to look back at this. For me it's so nostalgic; it allows me to respect how far the computer industry has gone, and more than that, it gives me a wonderful feeling of how far it will go. The process goes on.
Indeed.
Until you, yourself, are a computer. Well actually you'll be long dead by then, but people in 2100 years will be. Pure conscious software, if they want to be.
1:45 Apple sells the numpad separately. Some things never change, do they?

Because they removed the arrow keys so developers start incorporating mouse support, and the numpad with the empty space for arrows didn't look very good
Don’t forget the carrying case! 😂😂

DataWaveTaGo And getting one hell of a work out lugging that phat-assintosh around.
why do you try to make jokes ? They were just trying to show its small size compared to its competitors.
Laptops were already around before this.
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.
Brilliant. I love the scene, when she‘s stuffing the MacIntosh into something that looks like some sort of lunchbox and that’s assumed to be a suitable way to carry your computer with you. It‘s like the first ‚mobile phones’ that were actually phones built in cars. You put them out of the car and strapped them to your shoulders … 😀
Amazing journey since then, and a more amazing to come!
Gates was 29 years old (depending on when this was filmed) and sitting at a desk as Microsoft’s chairman and spokesperson. Looks like a kid.
it has more ports than the current macbook :O

The white MacBooks were terrible quality wise though. Everyone I know who owned one had case cracks on theirs

Not that everyone wants that. At least for networking, physical connection will always be better if you want the best possible performance. Especially in a crowded environment with lots of other wireless signals.

When u realize this video will be 40 yrs old next yr in 2024. I was a toddler when this computer came in 84 and thats the 1st pc laptop.
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!

Also, we are just 12 years apart, so how can you talk like you experienced so much more than me?

The massification of affordable personal devices was revolutionary.

Not very convincing though with Bill Gates endorsing it. :-)
@@cashbonanza963 basically insulted you without you even knowing 😂😂😂
Yeah, you just have to be rich.
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.

1:18 That printer works faster than what I got today.
wow!
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.
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.
Sean RobinsonJR lol
It's crazy to think that in 30 years, computers today will seem like the one in this ad. What an interesting time to be alive - to see all the advances in technology we are going to see.

I don't think so, we have reached maximum compression of transistor into a CPU. The huge advances in tech are just for pc gamers. -
@@luiscamacho1996 Not really. Most parts of the CPU can still get 100X smaller. That "3 nm" etc talk is mostly marketing.

''And when you're ready to travel Macintosh can easily go along'' Hahaha! How things have changed!
absolutely unreal!! I wonder if she had an Apple bike, too!
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 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.
Very strange how bicycles always stays the same.
Well they do change a bit and now u can have an electric bike
you'd think they'd change the design of the wheel at some point...lol
You'd think it would have more wheels by now
Today road bikes have a silly number of gears, making them more fragile.
Bicycles are near perfected machines. They're basically the absolute limit of efficiency for any human output of work. THAT is why bicycles don't change from it's past gear + 2 wheel design.
Physics limits what bicycles can become.
We have e-bikes, but those are it's own class between bikes and other motor-vehicles.
The bit I love about this is that you would want a travel case that allows you to cart around “the manual” as well😂 how things have changed.
When the woman started putting the computer in that picnic bag, i laughed so loud 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i love an innovative mind. Apple now has iPad!!! And mini iPad!!! Cool!

The Mac changed my life. I was a graphic designer and everything we did was done by hand drawing and paper paste ups. All that vanished quickly in a few years. The funny thing is that there was another computer that smoked the Mac back then. It was the Amiga 500, it was full COLOR, you could write and produce digital music on it, do animation in color. It was far ahead of its time. What KILLED the Amiga 500 was the Star Trek movie about saving the whales. The movie company needed a small computer for one scene in the movie that would talk. The producers went to Amiga and asked for a computer to use in the scene. Amiga said sure BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY IT. Producers left, and Steve Jobs gave them one for FREE. Amazing how such a small thing destroyed a futuristic product for its time. The other thing that killed it is they failed to adopt Postscript. The death of the Amiga was very said and I remember the very last meeint of our Amiga club where we pirated software and had a good time.
Thank you for this information.
The Mac didn't talk in that movie.
@@TheLarryBrown Correct. But the point is that brief exposure in that movie MADE the Mac. Sales skyrocketed. The Amiga500, had they had the foresight to accept donating one for the movie, might have changed history.
@@davestephens8033 Holy oversimplification! I have no knowledge, but I highly doubt both your points. I don't see that movie having a tangible effect on Mac sales....let me look that up.....couldn't find anything one way or the other. What made the Mac successful was PostScript, LaserWriter, and PageMaker. According to the IMDB trivia page, Apple didn't give them the Mac, it loaned it to them. What kind of movie production balks at the purchase of an Amiga 500 with a sub $1000 price tag? Their budget for coffee would dwarf that. Mac was not a success anyway until later and was resurrected from doom by Jobs and NeXT. Per Wikipedia, Mac sold only 1 million units in the five year period from 1984 to 1989, whereas The Amiga 500 sold at least 4 times that, 4-5 million in the five years from 1987 to 1992, and that's just the 500, the 1000, and 2000 sales are on top of that, plus the 3000 to come. Lack of sales is not what killed the Amiga, a fact the numbers quoted support. If any one thing, like Postscript, could have saved the Amiga, the Video Toaster would certainly have saved it.
@@TheLarryBrown I lived this, its not something I read somewhere. I was part of of an Amiga user's group that met twice a month. When that movie came out, we saw the writing on the wall. WE were pissed that Amiga didn't give Hollywood a computer, it was a huge mistake on their part; 3 months later the group disbanded, Postscript was adopted by Apple and the Amiga died. Amiga didn't want to give the Star Trek guys a unit for the movie, we heard back THEN they demanded Jobs PAY for an Amiga 500, so the movie guys called Jobs up and they sure come on over we'll give you one to use. Amiga didn't adopt Postscript and probably Apple wouldn't have licensed them anyway. The Amiga was years ahead of its time, though, it was full color, you could scan artwork by using black and white security cameras using RGB filters in 3 scans then combined them. The first Laser printers were TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. The first inkjet printers were also $10,000. I got to use one because a friend worked at a place that bought one. The quality was amazing; these days you can get that same quality on any inkjet for $50. Of course Apple sales were low to start with, but I BOUGHT ONE and so did every graphic designer I knew did too. We knew this little Mac Plus was going to change the world, and I adopted them after my business neighbor bought one and showed me Postscript. Postscript was being used at that time by all the typesetters, it allowed us to set galley type ourselves instead of writing marked up text and having the typesetters do it. Thats what sold me. Photoshop came out very quickly and suddenly I could airbrush work on that little lunch box. Many of my designer friends were slow to get Macs and a lot of them went out of business. My wine label designer friends were threatened by having to learn to use computers and they either bought Macs or they went out of business. I lived onlly 35 miles from Apple, we were the first leading wave to embrace the future. Nobody in graphic design ever bought a Next computer, it was a huge failure. When the IIci came out, suddenly we had the ability to do our own color seperations instead of paying big bucks to a seperation house. I was friends with the owner of a color sep business and he taught me the right way to do color separations. The irony is that the IIci and the Mac Plus put all the typesetters and seperation houses out of business. We then had to use "service bureaus" to output film for press printing. PC users were banned from those businesses because PC files were a nightmare and PC people were incredibly ignorant. Eventually the service bureaus went out of business too. With the advent of modems, we were also able to upload our files to the service bureaus. Back then I remember staying up all night uploading a 15 megabyte file that took over 8 hours to upload, and me cringing because long uploads like that would often fail and the phone system would just drop out ;-) At one point we were scared to death that Apple was going out of business, so we bought a PC to be prepared for that. Both my wife and I couldn't believe how dumbed down PC's were and still are, poor copies of the Mac OS. Thank God Jobs came back and gave us all these devices we're all addicted to now, LOL.

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.
The phone you are holding now is 10.000.000 times more powerful …
I’m using an iPhone by the way … 😊
Yes the difference between 1980s and 2010s is huge and now it's even better 👍🏻
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?
@raheem allen Thank you for the concern and reminder. May we all be ready every day w/GOD's help.

That Mac is so portable it fits inside the trunk of your car. Genius.
And when you’re ready to travel, MacIntosh can easily go along. All you have to do is put the computer in a big bulky bag, along with the cables, booklets and software and it weighs no more than a 16 pound bowling ball.
laptop: So portable I am that I can go anywhere
Macintosh: Hold my beer, goes in bicycle trolley
I like the portability lol
I sold Macs for a living at one time. I brought home that Mac in that carry case all the time and taught myself. Great times!
Damn the ad at the end was really dope especially for the time it was made
I am too lazy to carry my 13" macbook air with me and this lady takes a whole oldschool computer / fridge with her on a bicycle :D
it's yellower than my fridge
Can you imagine putting your desktop in a bike basket and riding through busy streets? 😆😅
You never did that? Gaming laptops sometimes just do not cut it. Got to use that desctop for a lan.
Reminds me of Will Smith in Pursuit of Happiness dragging his appliance around
you can do that with ASUS MiniPC. You can use tablet as external monitor too. Its just that some bikes today doesnt have that big of of a case. Asus MiniPC is great for Ps Emulators.😉😉👍👍
Happy HDD's day !
I wish it's possible again 😂
A young 29 years old dude who had it clear.
This brings back some great childhood memories 😁. When she was packing it into it's case I was thinking, it's like she's going to be carrying round a microwave lol. It's quite scary to think about what technology has become in just the last 40 years....
I carried a Mac Plus in one of those cases, the university allowed people to borrow them for x days for free... it was quite heavy though, not sure you could have carried one on a bicycle like that...
Why is this in my recommendation in 2019??? Anyone else??
I from Russia and got recommend too
same here
It's that 80s porn you've been yanking too
Musk Hunter lol
Same here.. From India..
this video is so convincing Even in 2019 😂
Xactlii
I so wanna buy it :-P(^^)
I can't imagine a today's commercial saying "The computer for the rest of us"
yes🤣🤣
Is this a joke? I found the video not convincing at all. It’s rather mysterious and that’s what the computer was to many people back in the day. Many were afraid of it. This commercial rather strengthens this.
thx for sharing, god bless you and the world.. regards from hong kong ^_^
Just amazing to see how far we've come in technology!!! And to the future................
2020: Who’s here because of TH-cam recommendation?
Me
@GORT I don't know
Yo it me haha

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 😆

Hey, can you confirm if servers around this time had just 4kb of ram?
Oh how funny, packing up the Mac and then cycling off to a meeting! I remember using this the first time, everyone was so excited. We thought it was cute and looked like a toaster. It changed our world for sure.
Boy ! If only today's computer were a half of this !
"An optional numeric keypad." Some things never change.
Apple 1984: Cost half as much as computers half as powerfull.
Apple 2017: Cost twice as much as computers twice as powerfull.
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’m more intrigued at the fact we’re seeing (apart from a few seconds) Gates with no glasses on!
this makes me want to ride a bike to work carrying my computer in a basket
0:52 "Microsoft doesn't work with new hardware very often" That's a fucking understatement of the century.
he had to practice on this topic to prepare for the vaccination topic
well, Microsoft was and still is mainly a software company even though they sells some hardware like Xbox and Surface today
Hey Eeyore, that hasn't been the case for decades and you know it.
Well it makes sense...
Apple cuts support for their computer line after 5 years. Windows 10 still runs perfect on PC's over 10 years old.
I think some of y'all are missing the joke, he's pointing out how Microsoft software can be buggy with new hardware 😂😂😂
