Apple Macintosh 512K - Ordinateur

The Macintosh 512K, released in September 1984, was a significant upgrade from the original Macintosh 128K. With four times the memory (512 KB of RAM), it allowed users to work on more complex documents and run more demanding software. Its iconic design, created by Jerry Manock and Terry Oyama, retained the compact and elegant form of the Macintosh 128K while delivering improved performance.

This model played a key role in popularizing personal computing, particularly due to its intuitive graphical user interface and software like MacWrite and MacPaint, which revolutionized document creation and graphics design.

This particular one has a serial number starting F422, which means it was manufactured in Fremont, the 22nd Week of 1984. So this is one of the earliest 512k ever build.

It is in real good cosmetic conditions. It comes with a nice looking M0100 mouse and a fully functional M0110F AZERTY keyboard. Both in very good working conditions as well.

Inside, the main RIFA (leaking) capacitor, has been replaced to avoid damages on the powerboard (see pictures).

The 400k floppy drive has been totally cleaned up and recalibrated.

And the display has also been recalibrated.

A piece of history in very good working conditions.
