An Apple-1 computer has been sold at auction for a staggering $905,000 – that’s roughly £565,000.
The archaic tech was flogged over in New York, reportedly snagging such a high bid thanks to its mint condition.
The computer was from the first batch of just 50 Apple-1 computers originally built by the late Steve Jobs and co-founder Steve Wozniak in a California garage in the mid-70s.
Unsurprisingly, there aren’t many Apple-1 computers left in good condition today, hence the ridiculously high bid.
Jobs and Wozniak sold their first computers at an oddball mark-up of $666.66 – Woz liked ‘repeating digits, apparently – which translates to around £416.
It’s currently believed that there’s just 15 Apple-1s around the world that are still fully functional.
The fully assembled device originally shipped with its own homemade wooden case and a cut-out ‘Apple’ logo.
Inside was an MOS 6502 CPU clocking in at a positively prehistoric 1MHz, with 4KB of memory to boot. It launched for purchase on April 11, 1976.
It's a far cry from Apple's latest desktop computer, the newly announced 5K Retina display iMac .
