👉 Macintosh computing refers to the personal computer systems developed by Apple Inc., specifically focusing on the Macintosh line of computers. Introduced in 1984, the Macintosh was revolutionary for its time due to its innovative graphical user interface (GUI), which made computing more accessible and user-friendly compared to the text-based command-line interfaces prevalent in other computers. The Macintosh featured a mouse-driven input system, color graphics, and a built-in disk drive, setting new standards for personal computing. Over the years, Apple introduced various Macintosh models, such as the Macintosh II and Macintosh Plus, each enhancing performance and expanding capabilities. Despite facing stiff competition from IBM PC compatibles and later from Microsoft Windows computers, the Macintosh line remains iconic for its pioneering role in shaping modern computing experiences.
