The success continued throughout the 70’s and all throughout the 80’s with the Macintosh computer selling quickly. Apple also offered one of the first ever laptop computers for sale in 1989, the Macintosh Portable.

The Apple computers delivered Character User Interface (CUI) but began to introduce innovations from the Apple II+ (1979).

The Mac computer is the only in the world that can run all the major operating systems, such as Windows XP, Mac OS X, and Windows Vista. A Mac is a brand name that covers many lines of personal computers that Apple Inc. develops, designs, and markets, while PC is usually a computer that runs on the Windows operating system. Mac is more stable than Windows is.

The Mac looks sleek and fancy with all sorts of different colors while a PC may appear to be nothing more than a vanilla-colored box. However, when the shopper looks around the store, it is easy to notice "that Mac titles aren't easy to find" (Kantor). Microsoft's operating system, Windows, is supported by many software developing companies, while only a small selection is made available to Mac owners. Something else someone might notice is that only Apple makes Macintosh computers, while many different companies can make a PC that supports Microsoft Windows.

Throughout the year’s computers have been an ever growing market and have officially changed the way we work. Still to this day people clash at which computer system is better Mac or PC.
