Apple's Failed Touchscreen Laptop From 1997

Video Description

Thanks to Dan from @FlightSimMuseumOfficial and Ryan for sending this out to me! YouTube may compensate me for using the shopping tags in this video. It's been over 2 decades since Apple released the eMate - a half laptop, half PDA... thing. And it didn't even last a year before being discontinued along with the entire Newton product line. So today, we're gonna travel back to 1997 to see just how bad (or good?) this thing was!
