) ‘’the high prices paid for the machines seem to be explained by the combination of scarcity, a fascination with the early history of the computer age, and the mystique of Apple and its founders, Steven P.

About Apple 1 Computer.

The Ap-ple 1 was designed and handmade by Steve Wozniak in the famous "electronics heaven" of "Silicon Valley", USA, and was marketed in April 1976 by Wozniak and Steve Jobs through electronics retail chain, the "Byte Shop", which bought the first 50 units.

The peripheral equipment such as power pack, keyboard, and monitor and cassette recorder had to be obtained personally by the user. Apple never offered a housing; every user had to make his own. The Apple 1 was the 1st PC in the world with monitor and keyboard access! The peripheral items are authentic and correspond to the motherboard as recommended by Apple. Only 200 examples of the Apple 1 were ever made.
