For me, it depends.
>The one I would have wanted in '77
Apple II
>The one I want now as a collector
PET
>The one I would have been able to afford in '77 and insist to everyone else that it's the best

theretroweb.com is an excellent resource for older hardware info.

Yup, it's saved my ass before.
minuszerodegrees.net is another good one for IBM documentation

I grew up with an Apple ][ and still have fond memories.

I often think about buying some vintage hardware to relive my youth, but I know I have no good place to store it, and really, I wouldn't actually do much with it.

If size is your main concern, an Apple IIc would be a bit smaller. It's a shame we never got a proper Apple II portable. The closest thing you could get would be a DOS laptop or luggable and run appler on it.

Rank trasher aboard. Model I had everything going on for it and just on raw speed alone it mogged the other 2.
