Apple Quadra 700 — A Legendary 90s Computer

💾 Step back into the early 1990s — when Apple gave rise to the Macintosh Quadra 700. Compact, upright, and powerful, the Quadra marked the turning point between the classic Mac era and the modern machines that followed. In this video, we dive into its design, hardware, and the software that defined the creative world of the time — from Aldus PageMaker and FreeHand to Ambrosia classics like Apeiron and Barrack — and of course Dirt Bike 3. Along the way, we open up the Quadra’s internals and revisit System 7 — that iconic interface that defined an age of discovery in personal computing.
