What was your first Mac?

[joeblow7777]

My first Mac is a my current one: M3 MacBook Air. 16GB of RAM. 1TB SSD.

I've been using iPhones and iPads for many years but I stuck with Windows PCs until 2024. For better or worse, I'm all in with Apple now...

My first was a Powerbook G3 Pismo/Lombard.

The first Mac that was 100% mine was a Power Mac G4/500DP. It was my primary Mac from around 2004 when I bought it off a friend that upgraded to a G5 until it was replaced with a 2009 Mac mini. I still have that machine as a PowerPC playhouse. I still have that mini in daily use 16 years later too!

My first Mac was the first gen 20" iMac G5 purchased in October of 2005.

I had been anti-mac up to that point after having a bad experience with an early version of Mac OS X and Adobe Illustrator - I hated that the window panels were just floating around with the desktop wallpaper being visible behind it.

I had graduated college in Sept 2005 and it seemed like all the design jobs near me were Mac based. So I started looking into what options were available and when I watched the iMac G5 launch video, I knew that was the Mac I wanted to buy.

Since then, I have owned several different Macs and almost all the iPhones models that have launched.

Crazy to think it has been 20 years since I made the switch to Mac.

Mine was a 24” 2008 iMac.

Top spec, at the time.

Such a lovely, lovely machine. It was actually this Mac that got me into photography.

What about you?

got an original Mac 128k with Mac Write&Macpaint in 1985 and stayed up all night playing with it and then had to go to work lol, but couldn't wait to get back home to it.

A mighty Apple //c, followed by a Mac SE30--used for years, PowerBook 145, Mac ||, PowerBook G3 Pismo...and on and on. I kept them all, they all still worked except the Mac|| (ram failure), and sold all of them two years ago. Good times.

My first Mac was a MacBook Pro 14" with the M2 Pro chip, 16 GB RAM, and 512 GB SSD. Three weeks after I received it, Apple announced and released the M3 versions. I called Apple to see if I could do a return and they accepted. Then I ordered a MacBook Pro 14" with the M3 Pro chip, 18 GB RAM, and 512 GB SSD for the same price.

Powerbook G4 Titanium. Although my Dad borrowed an original Macintosh a few times from a friend of his when I was a kid.
