Apple Lisa GUI Computer With Mouse

1983: Apple Lisa with Graphical User Interface and Mouse

The Apple Lisa first appeared in January 1983 and initially had two 5.25" 871K floppy disk drives. The system was quite innovative, featuring a graphical user interface and utilizing a mouse as an input device, The system had a 5MB external hard drive called the ProFile and a massive 1MB of RAM (64K was a lot at this time), both of which contributed to its whopping $9995 retail price.
