Even though it had little success in the beginning, it still brought accessibility and comfort because it was portable; it was something that could be carried around which creates more ease.

Apple Newton

Apple created the Newton which became part of the "handheld computer market". It was named "Personal Data Assistant" by Apple President John Scully in 1992. It discontinued a few years later because of software issues, but it tried to aide in daily organization and more ease for the average human.

RISC PC

The RISC PC was created by Acorn Computers in the UK. This model replaces their previous model, Archimedes Computer. This was used to create better quality for broadcast television and music production.

IBM ThinkPad 701C

The ThinkPad, also known as "Track Write", was designed by the inventor John Karidis. This product definitely tried to be part of helping consumers by being portable and creating an easy design to work with their consumers.

iMac all-in-one Desktop Computer

This was definitely a core memory for me when I was in elementary school. It was one of Apple's products that was released under the new management of Steve Jobs. This product came out with many beautiful colors and was known to be easy to use.
