1997 Apple Macintosh Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh

Join us as we unbox one of Apple's most distinctive and collectible computers: the 1997 Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM). Created to celebrate Apple's 20th anniversary, the TAM combined cutting-edge technology with premium industrial design, making it one of the most exclusive Macintosh models ever produced.

This particular example arrived complete in its original packaging, including many of the unique accessories that made the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh such a remarkable system.

Our gallery documents the entire experience—from opening the box to setting up the computer in our studio—capturing every detail of this beautifully preserved machine.

You'll also find our YouTube video, where we unbox the TAM, assemble it, and perform its first power-on and functionality test.

Among the highlights are several of the Macintosh's original accessories, including:

  • Apple-branded pen

  • Apple TV remote

  • Original packaging and inserts

  • Factory accessories and documentation

  • Studio setup and beauty shots

The Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh was never intended to be a mass-market computer. Instead, it was designed as a statement piece that showcased Apple's vision for the future, blending elegant design with multimedia capabilities years ahead of its time.

Whether you're an Apple collector, vintage computing enthusiast, or simply appreciate exceptional industrial design, this gallery offers an in-depth look at one of Apple's rarest and most iconic Macintosh computers.

Preserving the machines that represent the milestones of Apple's design and engineering history.
