The 10 Worst PCs of All Time
Remember these clunkers? Many of them were so bad they're hard to forget.
Dan Tynan, PC World
#4. Apple III (1980-1984)
According to most accounts, Jobs insisted that the machine be built without a cooling fan; instead, the system's aluminum case served as a heat sink. (A mistake Apple repeated with the Mac G4 Cube in 2000.) Worse, the Apple III crammed too many components into too small a case. As the system overheated, circuit boards warped and chips popped out of their sockets; users were supposed to pick up the machine and drop it to re-seat the chips. List prices between $4300 and $7400, depending on configuration, only added to the misery.
Apple was forced to replace the first 14,000 Apple IIIs it shipped, and it redesigned the system twice, but the machine never lost its reputation as a stinker.
With HP wireless printers, you could have printed this from any room in the house. Live wirelessly. Print wirelessly.
