I’ve always loved the TAM (even though most people seem to hate it) and the Color Classic (even though it is slow af)

What’s your favorite one?

    It’s really hard to pick just one.

    The PowerBook 540c (or really, the 550c) is one of the most beautiful computers ever made, and a complete multimedia powerhouse for it’s time.

    The favorite Mac that I owned and used myself was probably the PowerMac 7500. I upgraded that one so far beyond original spec, with a G3 600 (G4 upgrades were available too) a PCI GPU and and IDE harddisks…

    Another one I have a soft spot for was the Centris 660 I had, built-in video-in and out support on a machine of that vintage was kind of crazy. I used it to watch TV off the SCART output from an old VCR, and me and my friends used it to create title sequences for our “movies” we made with a Video8 camcorder. Many hours spent playing WarCraft II. It lived it’s final years as a router for my parents using MacOS 8.1 and IPNetRouter running off a RAM disk (copy OS to RAM disk, set to boot disk, reboot and unplug the HDD during the split second, now you have a Mac router with no moving parts that will run for months)

    Definitely love the design of the TAM and Color Classic as well.

    My sister had a Macintosh performa 450 that I inherited. It was a beast with a 25 mhz processor and 8 mg of ram!!

    I was given a power pc shortly after that but my heart still resides in that little Macintosh pizza box

    I never used one but I guess I would say the Color Classic based on look, feel and design I guess. it’s just so charming. The compact design, the colorful screen. Was it really that slow?

    I really like the original all-in-one form factor, so I guess I’ll go with The Macintosh Plus.
