The Apple II (sometimes written as Apple ][ or Apple //) was the first popular microcomputer manufactured by Apple Computer. Its direct ancestor was the Apple I, a circuit board computer for hobbyists that was never produced in quantity but which pioneered many of the features that made the Apple II a success. Introduced at the West Coast Computer Faire in 1977, the Apple II was one of the very first and most successful personal computers. A number of different models were sold, and the most popular model was manufactured, with relatively minor changes, into the 1990s. By the end of its production, 2 million Apple IIs were produced.
Unlike any other machine before it, the Apple II looked more like an appliance than a piece of electronic test equipment. This was a computer that would not seem out of place in the home, on a manager's desk, or in a classroom. The lid popped easily off the beige plastic case, allowing access to the entire motherboard and inviting users to look inside and tinker with the computer's eight expansion slots and its bounty of empty RAM sockets, which could hold up to 48 kilobytes of memory.
Also unique for its time were the machine's color and high-resolution graphics modes (which could be used on an ordinary television), its sound capabilities, and its built-in BASIC programming language. Compared to earlier machines, these features were well-documented and easy to learn. The Apple II thus marked the beginning of the personal computer revolution: it was a machine for the masses, not just hobbyists, scientists, and engineers. The Apple II's influence was widespread; most of the machines that followed imitated many aspects of the successful machine.
