The Lisa was named after Steve Jobs' daughter Lisa. The company had contests to come up for a computer acronym using the letters LISA. The Lisa was a failure because it was more expensive and not as powerful as the Macintosh.

In 1984, the next huge Apple computer was released. Apple paired with Adobe to create Adobe [[PageMaker]], the first [[desktop publishing|Desktop Publisher]] ever created. Using it, small companies could make official-looking documents, a milestone in technology history. The application ran exclusively on the Macintosh. The Macintosh was famous for it's "1984" [[Super Bowl]] advertisement. The Macintosh was the first device to have a Graphic User Interface (GUI). The name of the device was taken from Steve Job's favorite type of apples the McIntosh apples. Despite the difference in spelling the name was also used by McIntosh Labs who brought certain legal problems into play. <ref> iCon: Steve Jobs </ref> The Macintosh was a great computer but there were three major flaws.

Lastly, the device was not expandable.

The Apple IIgs was a mix between the two, but its main feature was that it was mouse driven. This was an amazing and unheard of innovation.
