7.6M views · 15 years ago · demo · historical

A promotional video for the original Apple Macintosh from 1984, which features Bill Gates. It shows how Apple presented the new computer, including its portability.

HN people mostly resubmit it as a piece of Macintosh history, and one cites it as an early take on selling portability.

“One of the promotional videos for the very first Macintosh from 1984 also showcased its "portability" :)”
