Its really based on the Apple IIGS and uses the same motherboard as well. Its done by the same guy who brought to you the PS3 laptop that we featured recently. The keyboard is custom made and the laptop makes use of a 15 inch display. The blue IIGS logo flashes yellow to indicate hard disk activity.

For those who dont understand what the hype is all about, The Apple IIGS, the fifth model inception of the Apple II, was the most powerful member of the Apple II series of personal computers made by Apple Computer. At the time of its release, it had stunning color graphics and state-of-the-art sound capabilities that surpassed those of most other computers, including the black and white Macintosh (apart from a lower vertical resolution). "GS" referred to its enhanced graphics and sound capabilities, which greatly surpassed previous models of the line.

The machine was a radical departure from any previous Apple II, with its true 16-bit architecture, increased processing speed, direct access to megabytes of RAM, wavetable music synthesizer, graphical user interface, and mouse.
