The comparisons are obnoxious, especially when the devices have little to do with each other. But sometimes, comparisons allow us to see how technology has evolved in recent years. On October 27, Apple presented the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, a new generation of Apple's most pro laptop, which does not seem to have been liked by everyone equally, either because of its price, because of all the components welded to the motherboard, for the duration of the battery, for the limitation to 16 GB of RAM ... it is clear that it never rains to everyone's liking.
In 1989 the Cupertino guys launched the company's first laptop, the Macintosh Portable, as it was called at the time. This laptop was launched when Steve Jobs was no longer part of the company that he had created with Steve Wozniak years ago. The Macintosh Portable was priced at that time of $ 7.000, which with inflation would be about $ 14.000 today. It also had a weight of 7,2 kilograms for the 1,3 kg of the current model.
The screen of the same offered us a resolution of 640 × 400 while the new MacBook Pro is 2.880 x 1.800. Logically nothing of Touch Pad or similar, since the Macistosh Portable offered us a ball that did the mouse functions at that time. In the video above, created by the guys at Canoopsy, we can also see the differences in size between both models, in addition to logically the supposed portability that he offered us. It should be borne in mind that at that time the Macintosh Portable was a laptop, a laptop that has evolved to what we now understand to be a device that can be easily transported and that also allows us to work comfortably wherever we are.
