What was your first Mac?

[spyderx]

Performa / Power Mac 6100 series (mid 90s) was the first I owned. Then I went on hiatus with windows/pcs and on a whim bought a G4 iBook at the Apple Store in Cambridge ma, and have been Mac-only since then, dozens of models and devices owned. What got me back into Mac was the original iPod. Was traveling a ton for work and that 1000's of songs in my pocket was a life saver.

I still have that iBook and it STILL WORKS!

Showed my kid nephew and he was fascinated by it hahaha.

Mac SE in 1987. I was so nervous driving home from the store with my $2900 computer in my $700 car.

Mine was a 333MHz Grape iMac G3 running Mac OS 8.6. Funny enough this was probably CIRCA 2006. I didn't know anything about Macs back then, but it sent me down a rabbit hole. My next Mac was either an Indigo iMac G3 running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, or my white 500MHz iBook G3 also running Tiger. I got those two around the same time, and I still have them. Don't have the grape one anymore, unfortunately.

I picked up a used Apple II in 1984 here in Sweden and later traded it in for a Macintosh 512 in 1987. I just kept upgrading after that and kept the Macs as long as I could until the OS was just not working for me anymore. I now have an M1 MacBook Air from 2020 that still runs well and a MacMini M4 basic model for my studio computer. I have had many Macs, iBooks, and MacBooks...

 

[S.B.G]

I had a 2006 MacBook Pro as my first Mac.

 

[Pecka]

Macintosh SE 2,5/20 later upgraded to 4 MB RAM.

It was my fathers work computer but he let me use it after he switched to workstations from Sun.

It was good to learn on but very slow with System 7, but it was a 4 year old model when that OS version came out.

After that I got a LC 630 which of course was light years better than the SE.

Then I used PCs until I bought a MBP 15" 2013 and have used Macs ever since.

Performa 640CD. Had both 68k and 486 CPU and ran System 7 as well as Windows 3.1

Heavy, bulky and slow, but we loved it.

This Powerbook 3400c bought for work in 1998. I was ecstatic, but, man, it was expensive!
