AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Looking for a rare retro piece to complete your vintage Apple collection — or a parts donor to resurrect a project? This is your chance!

– eMate 300, the distinctive clamshell Newton “laptop” from Apple, dating from 1997–1998.

>> IMPORTANT:
This unit is sold as non‑working (does not power up).
Includes the original stylus pen from back then.

// CONDITION & WHAT'S MISSING?
– The eMate comes without charger / power adapter.
– It is suitable only for display or spare‑parts use (screen, body, keyboard, stylus etc.).
– As a classic Newton‑era piece, it has the charm of vintage hardware — ideal for a display shelf, repair challenge or restoration project.

// WHY THIS E-MATE STILL HAS VALUE?
- The eMate 300 was Apple’s unique take on the Newton platform — the only Newton‑device with a built‑in keyboard and clamshell design.
– For collectors of historical Apple gear: having a physical eMate — working or not — remains a nostalgic and decorative treasure.
– For hobbyists/technicians: this non‑working unit may carry parts (case, screen, stylus, keyboard, connectors) useful to restore another eMate or Newton device.

// WHAT IS E-MATE?
The eMate 300 was a laptop-like device from Apple, introduced in 1997, primarily aimed at the education market. It ran a version of the Newton operating system and featured a distinctive green, semi-transparent plastic design, with a built-in keyboard and stylus support for handwriting input. With a battery life of around 28 hours and a sturdy, lightweight build, it was designed to give students and teachers a portable digital tool for note-taking, sketching, and simple applications, though it never achieved the commercial success of other Apple products.

// PACKAGING & SHIPPING
The eMate 300 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.

Great opportunities don't come everyday!

Let the bidding begin … for this legendary "eMate 300”!
A vintage gem with history — sold as-is, perfect for display, spare parts, or restoration projects.

"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 ;)
