From its humble beginnings as a desktop computer under Steve Jobs, it has become a powerhouse product that has changed how we work and interact with technology.
THE MACBOOK
To truly understand the impact that the MacBook has had, it is important to look back at the history of the Macintosh and its development under Jobs. With his unique vision and innovative approach, Jobs transformed the personal computer market by introducing the Macintosh in 1984. This was a significant milestone in the evolution of computing, and it set the stage for the development of the MacBook. Over the years, Apple has continued to innovate and improve the MacBook, transitioning from a desktop computer to a portable device that has completely changed how we work. One of the most significant innovations that made the MacBook ahead of the curve was its enclosure for mobile, which allowed people to take their work with them wherever they went. The MacBook Air presentation in 2008 was a turning point in this evolution, showcasing the device's lightweight and slim design that made it ideal for on-the-go work.
