Yeah ok it isn’t that Apple Tablet. But this is a picture, taken around 1990, of the Apple Pen Mac, a little known and never launched Apple tablet project. As far as we can tell there is no other image of this device anywhere on the Internet, and very few references to it at all. The Pen ...

Photographic Proof of the Apple Tablet...From 20 Years Ago [Retromodo]
Gizmodo —
I know, I know, that headline's a dirty trick. But this is still pretty cool: TechCrunch got ahold of a shot of the Apple Pen Mac, a stylus-driven tablet concept circa 1990 that eventually collapsed in favor of the Newton. The Pen Mac was an inch thick, used the same screen as the Mac Portable, and didn't merely exist in a lab—this is a real working model pictured here, not just a pretty (for the time) case. Unfortunately, the powers that were wanted a handheld rather than a full-sized tablet, and so the Pen Mac was discarded in ...
Apple's tablet Mac revealed
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence —
We like this story - here’s a picture of the Apple tablet - no, not that Apple tablet, but the unreleased tablet that never made the light of day and was internally developed by the company way back c.1990.
We didn’t find this little gem - that honour goes to TechCrunch, but here’s the story:
“The Pen Mac was a fully functional Mac computer (it even played the Mac startup chime) with a pen based touch screen. The screen itself was identical to the Mac Portable, but with the addition of pen touch. And of course the case was a ...

Apple's Rejected, Prehistoric (i.e. 1990) Tablet Device
Valleywag —
... TechCrunch is running pictures of Apple's c. 1990 prototablet today. Not much more than an inch thick, supposedly, the device was a portable Mac that responded to stylus input. The design was ahead of its time: judging from the photo above, it might actually pass for an Amazon Kindle 19 years later. But then-CEO John Sculley killed the deal so the company could focus on the doomed Newton PDA. Short-sighted? Hardly; here's what resurrected Apple messiah/CEO ...
