This week, Apple debuted the latest entries into its MacBook Pro range, boosting the power, trimming off some fat and adding the unique Touch Bar. The laptops are the latest in a long line of machines, started by the iconic Macintosh more than thirty years ago.
Launched in the 1980s, the Mac won the creative industries because its graphics and text handling software made the best use of its tiny monochrome display. Under the guidance of Steve Jobs – and later designer Jonny Ive, the platform succeeded, waned, and then grew again.
The operating system has also morphed to make use of free BSD Unix, along with the NextStep OS pioneered during Steve Jobs’ years in exile from Apple.
The platform pioneered a lot of things – abandoning floppies and CDs before the rest, and adopting different network and expansion technologies. Apple users still swear by their Macs no matter what.
But what do you know about the Mac? And how many do you recognise in our gallery?
