Very rare new-in-box example of the limited edition Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM), released by Apple in 1997 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the company's founding. Aimed at the executive market, the innovative computer boasted a $7,500 price tag and feature-packed performance that exceeded most personal computers of the era. This example remains sealed in its original box, with original specifications and shipping labels affixed outside.
This Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh set (Part No. M4934LL/A, Serial No. MW7483YJ8HA) includes the computer with a built-in 12.1" LCD screen, Bose speakers, and vertically-mounted CD-ROM drive; keyboard with built-in trackpad; base unit power supply/subwoofer; remote control; and user's manual. Despite its feature-rich technology, the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh was met with slow sales, presumably due to its price tag and limited means for expansion. However, its design proved influential in future product lines; until recently, modern iMacs featured vertically oriented optical drives behind their LCD screens (similar to the floppy drive on the TAM), and the Magic Trackpad is offered as a popular peripheral (like the trackpad on the TAM keyboard).
