Apple's 11 Most Intriguing Computer Designs

From the first Apple to the MacBook Air, Macs have been regarded as technologically innovative, beautiful in product design and, over time, become just plain cool.

Mac Portable: 15 Pounds Light





Complete with ergonomic keyboard, trackball and lead-acid battery, the Macintosh Portable had easy usability, was portable (obviously) and had 10 hours of battery life. By today's standards, this 1989 10-inch-screen beauty seems a bit heavy, as was its price tag of $6,500. Compare it to Apple's more recent MacBook line, at 4.5 pounds, 6 hours of battery life and a list price of $1,299.
