Basic IntroductionEdit

EquipmentEdit

Memory and Hard DriveEdit

• Pre-installed RAM: 128 KB
• Hard drive: None

There was only 128 KB of RAM available, and no hard drives were available.

Special NotesEdit

• Unlike subsequent Macs, the words "Macintosh 128K" did not appear on the front panels of the very first 128Ks to roll off the assembly line. The name only came into being on the front panel later on in its life.
