The Apple II was the world's first highly successful, mass-produced, "practical" personal computer. It was designed primarily by Steve Wozniak, with assistance from Steve Jobs and Rod Holt. The Apple II featured an integrated keyboard, built-in BASIC programming languages, expandable memory, a sound card, expansion slots and a monitor capable of color graphics. To include so many features in one small unit was highly innovative, and the reason why the Apple II is considered the first practical personal computer. Discover more about about the Apple II here.
