02 / History

Published archive record

Why it mattered

Introduced on 24 January 1984, the Macintosh 128K represents the early compact Macintosh design. Its small memory and floppy-based storage shaped how software was used on the machine. Apple records no built-in memory expansion, distinguishing the original configuration from later third-party upgrades.
