Users could engage with educational software, listen to CDs, and even create digital audio projects—all from the comfort of their desktop.

Additionally, the Apple 850AV supported video input and output, making it one of the first computers capable of video conferencing. This functionality was facilitated by the inclusion of a video camera interface, allowing users to connect external cameras and partake in video calls and recordings. The system’s graphics capabilities were also noteworthy, supporting an impressive display resolution that enhanced the visual experience for applications and games.

The machine was built around a sleek design, showcasing Apple’s commitment to aesthetics and usability. It featured integrated speakers, a keyboard, and a mouse, all designed to create a seamless user experience. The inclusion of various ports, including USB and SCSI, allowed for connectivity with numerous peripherals, expanding the system’s versatility.

Overall, the Apple 850AV was not just a personal computer; it was a multimedia powerhouse that laid the groundwork for future innovations in computing.
