Older model Macintoshes were generally up, while three of the Toshiba laptop models all lost value. IBM ATs were mixed with the nearly primative AT-099 down $200 to close the week at $1250 while the marginally younger AT-339 was up $150 and closed the week at $1975. Brokers are surprised at the spread between the AT models and the consensus was the the drop in the AT-099 portends the near future where the AT models will fall. One analyst stated that within 6 months all of the AT models will trade under $1500. The Compaq market was steady with only one model changing value. The Compaq Portable III with 40 megabyte hard disk was up a paltry $50 to close the week's trading at $2400. While other Compaq models were active, they closed the week at last week's prices. The Apples were a market of their own. The older models were up. The Macintosh 512 traded up $75 at $650, the Macintosh 512e was up $50 trading at $700, and the Macintosh Plus with floppies was up $50 to close the week at $950. Meanwhile the Macintosh Plus with 20 megabyte hard drive was under MacAttack and dropped $150 to close the week at $1250. The other MacModel that gained was the SE 20 Megabyte which gained $125 and closed at $2000. The Apple IIgs was down $150 at $1050. The Laptop market was stable with the exception of the Toshiba's which took a bath this past week. Three Toshiba models were down. The 10 megabyte T-3100 was down $150 closing at $1350. The 20 megabyte T-3100 was also down, losign $50 to close the week at $1800. Finally, the T-5100 dropped $240 and closed this week at $3700 Index prices are based on configurations of complete systems with keyboard, monochrome monitor and adapter, less the value of any software or other peripherals.
