Apple Lisa 2 computer

The Apple Lisa is the first commercially available personal computer with a graphical user interface. In the early 1980s, after the market success of the Apple II computer, Apple sought new solutions to enable market expansion beyond the 8-bit computer segment. The company focused on advanced solutions for professional users. It is believed that inspiration for the Lisa, and the source of many of the solutions applied in it, was derived from the prototype series of Alto computers, produced and tested in 1973 by Xerox but never launched on the market. The Alto computer was equipped with a graphical user interface (GUI) with a desktop represented on the monitor screen. Convenient control of this interface was enabled by the use of a three-button mouse. Concept work on the Lisa began in 1978. Manufacturer: Apple Computer Inc., 1984 Inv.
