Recently, the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, officially previewed a special exhibit - an oversized Macintosh Plus computer (replica) known as the "Big Mac."This classic Apple model, a replica of 1986, quickly became popular with its exaggerated and almost comical keyboard design. It became the focus of retro technology enthusiasts and served as a warm-up for Apple’s upcoming 50th anniversary celebration.

It is reported that this "Big Mac" is a new collection recently purchased by the museum. It was most likely specially built for exhibitions and demonstrations when the Macintosh Plus was in hot demand. As Apple's most influential early commercial model, the Macintosh Plus has been favored by the market since its launch in 1986. This oversized replica will also become an important part of the museum's Apple 50th anniversary celebration, which will officially kick off in March.

Interestingly, the museum did not reveal any technical details of the "Big Mac". Instead, it took a different approach and used keyboard ASMR to attract attention.In the video, the girl is typing on an enlarged version of the Apple M0110A keyboard, and the crisp sound of the keys accurately strikes the fancy of keyboard enthusiasts..

This original keyboard has only 58 keys and has a compact design, but it also has new direction keys that the previous generation M0110 did not have, greatly improving its practicality.

Back in 1986, the Macintosh Plus was officially launched. It was equipped with the same Motorola 68000 CPU as the original Mac. The default 1MB memory could be expanded to 4MB. It was also equipped with an 800KB 3.5-inch floppy disk drive and a SCSI port for easy connection of peripherals.

However, due to the technology at the time, it was only equipped with a 9-inch monochrome CRT monitor with a resolution of only 512×342 pixels. This also caused the "Big Mac" screen to still appear small in the design aesthetic of 2026 even after enlargement, but the keyboard looked particularly exaggerated..

This model sold for US$2,599 back then, which is equivalent to more than US$7,500 in 2026 prices. Even though it is expensive, it is still a reliable "office tool" and has been supported by Apple systems for ten consecutive years. Until Mac OS 7.5.5, which was launched in 1996, it was still compatible with this compact all-in-one machine.

At present, the museum has only released a brief preview, promising to announce more technical details of the "Big Mac" next week. As Apple's 50th anniversary celebration approaches, the appearance of this retro super-large model has also allowed more people to relive Apple's early exploration and glory in the field of personal computers.
