Description from the seller
>> FORWORD
Please don't make any assumptions, but READ the (full) accompanying text – and look at (all) the photos "very carefully" to avoid disappointments.
Being an Apple enthusiast, I have collected RARE and VALUABLE hardware and software for my co-sentimental Apple companions. The lucky Macintosh Apple enthusiast can supplement his/her collection with this legendary collector's item: the "Newton MessagePad 120” – that gives you a glimp of Apple's history.
PS/ working vintage Newton items are rarely sold (they were very expensive back then – 800 EURO – not many were sold in Europe).
// WHAT IS NEWTON ?
The MessagePad 120 was a touchscreen mobile device that was released by Apple Computer as part of its MessagePad tablet computer line.
The Apple Newton MessagePad 120, features a 20 MHz ARM 610 processor, and infrared-beaming capabilities in a sleek handheld case with a 320x240 pressure-sensitive, backlit monochrome display for use with a provided stylus.
The Newton MessagePad was one of the first series of handheld systems, or PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), to attempt to recognize natural handwriting and use a basic form of artificial intelligence to 'tie' relevant information together.
>> Please note that Newtons are technically not 'Macs', as they do not operate the MacOS, and instead use the NewtonOS (also developed by Apple).
// BE AWARE
– The tip of the styles pen is lost (see detailed pictures);
– Don't compare the screen contrast with current devices. It's very low compared with current devices (as the technique was in that era).
– The date battery needs to be replaced (it's empty).
// PACKAGING & SHIPPING
The Newton bundle is packaged securely and carefully for safe shipment.
Moreover, this bundle is shipped INSURED because of its precious value. Because of the precious content extra attention is paid to the CUSTOM packaging. This extra cost is included in the shipping price.

"One More Thing"
When in doubt, check my positive customer reviews ;) (… because there are some "copycats" out there who copy my style/text and pretend to be me). There is only one "VISENTO"! That's me ;)
