Apple PowerBook 100: top gadget of all time
Rock on, 1991. Times were good. We had Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and… uhhh… C&C Music Factory. We also saw the unveiling of one Powerbook 100, the first portable that didn’t require significant muscle mass to actually port about. This device gets the credit it deserves as the #1 gadget of all time on Mobile PC magazine’s list of Top 100 Gadgets of all time.
Three other Apple gadgets made the list: the iPod at #12, Powerbook 500 at #22, and the Newton (oh, mighty Newton!) at #39. As a lover of lists, this is such a great idea. Everyone is going to have their list of “shoulda beens” that they wished had made the list - what’s yours?
