Digital history made by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak way back in 1976, a beautiful-looking piece of tech, sold at auction in California this week for close to $550,000.


One of only 200 made, the computer, mainly the motherboard, is encased in wood from a Hawaiian koa tree.


It also comprises a keyboard, detached Panasonic monitor, two cassette tapes of Apple software and a user manual.


There were only two previous owners, and the Apple-1 personal computer last sold in 1977 for US$650.


The prototype was created by Jobs and Wozniak in a Palo Alto garage, and initially sold for a devilish US$666.66.


We’re not sure if it runs Windows 11.
