When the Macintosh arrived back in January 1984, every personal computer magazine in existence reviewed Apple’s new baby. Recognizing that these articles might be of more than passing interest some day, I collected and saved as many of them as I could.

I recently scanned four of the best of these articles — from BYTE, Personal Computing, A+ and Newsweek — and posted them here for your perusal.

By far, the “must-see” of this group is the gargantuan BYTE magazine material. Newsweek’s take on the Macintosh is more of a news article than a review and thus offers a different, but still worthwhile, perspective. They all offer a great time-capsule look back at one of the pivotal points in the history of computers. Enjoy!
