The most interesting thing about this early ad from Apple Computer (now just plain Apple) is the $2500 price. We're talking about a computer that pre-dates the Macintosh, there - circa somewhere in the early 80's - a computer that had none of your newfangled hard drives or DVD drives or Bluetooth or wi-fi (although that color monitor was pretty hot stuff back then), and probably less computer power, overall, than the cell in your pocket. The same money today would buy you a 24-inch iMac with all the trimmings, and you'd have plenty left over for a new pair of pants.
