Model A6SB100
Comprising Apple Lisa 1 microcomputer with two 5.25in. 'Twiggy' floppy drives, Apple keyboard, Apple ProFile drive and power cord, Apple Mouse, and box of Twiggy discs

Apple's Lisa, released in January, 1983 and based in part on Xerox's Alto (see lot 26 in sale 23617), was developed in the early 1980s and was the first personal computer to sport a graphical user interface. While not a commercial success in part because of its high initial price ($10k in 1983), an underpowered processor (a 5 MHz 68000), and limited memory (512 KB), it set the foundation for Apple's later, very successful Macintosh line and inspired the design of Microsoft's Windows operating system.

The microcomputer measuring 14 in. (35.6 cm.) high; 19 in. (48.3 cm.) wide; 15 in. deep
Provenance
LCM Collection.
