Finally, let's look at the thunderous APPLE hardware products.
Any senior computer hardware collector will have a few pieces of APPLE hardware, after all, APPLE's influence is pervasive. The first generation of Apple computers, Apple-1, came out in 1976, five years before IBM's PCs. Apple-1 computers sold less than 200 units at a price of US$666.66 that year. Very early and very rare, Apple-1 became the bellwether in the collection of complete computers. Most of the less than 70 Apple-1 computers still in existence are collected. The highest auction price of the Apple-1 computer was US$815,000 in 2016, and a high price of US$375,000 was also sold in 2018.

In the year when the IBM PC was born, the APPLE IIe computer motherboard codenamed SUPER II engineering samples were also born early. The Super II motherboard PCB date is 8103 weeks, that is, January 1981. Two R&D personnel names are printed on the motherboard: Walt Broedner and JOHN MACPHEE, demonstrating that Apple respects technology and talents. Less than 100 Super II motherboards are produced. This serial number No. 4, used to be a sample of Apple's retained, also passed a complete test on September 29, 1989. I won the bid in 2019 for $2025.
The picture below is the motherboard in the APPLE IIe computer, which is not much different from Super II.
