Laptops
1989: The Macintosh Portable M5120 cost a whopping $7,300. That’s about $15,000 today.
Today: The Apple MacBook Pro with Touch Bar costs $1,589 on Amazon as of publication time.
Laptops were once a faraway thought for average wage earners, but they finally became a household item in the late 1980s. Now, they’re one of the most common possessions someone can own, second to maybe a cellphone.
