Vintage Apple computer "Macintosh Portable" Model M5120. It is rare to find complete in original Box, with all original packaging.
Used, and in excellent cosmetic condition no cracks or chips to case. I did not try to start computer so that the buyer may have the ability to check capacitors, and have any bad ones replaced. The machine was working when it was retired in the early 90's. It was owned by a man who was selling Macintosh computers and was his main business machine.Eve...rything on the packing list is there, even a sheet of four Apple decals not listed. Many of the manuals were never removed from the shrink wrap. Everything is in the original foam packing in the Original box, including the open me: "First", "Second", and "Third" over wraps. No paper tears at all.
The one defect that I can find is on the end of the case Zipper, is that the Zipper Pull itself needs to be replaced as it is missing. The Zipper is securely sewn to case yet, and may easily be repaired.
The device cost $6, 500 in 1989 dollars, the equivalent of more than $12, 600today. This rose by $448 if you added a hard drive and modem.

Macintosh Portable specsIn terms of spec, the 16 MHz 68000 CPU Macintosh Portable was actually faster than the Mac SE and Macintosh II, which ruled Apple’s desktop lineup at the time. It also included a gorgeous 9.8-inch active-matrix LCD display, offering 640-by-400-pixel black-and-white graphics. A later upgrade brought back-lighting to the Mac Portable, although that cut battery life in half.This was also the first Mac to come with a preinstalled operating system, which is standard today.
