Yes, but the Lisa cost about $22,000 (adjusted for inflation). A regular macbook costs $1000.

  Just curious, how did you do the inflation adjustment?

    I'd guess using something like http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=inflation+rate+in+US+from+1980+to+2000 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=inflation+rate+in+US+fr... to establish a mean rate and then using "compound interest" formula?

      It's far simpler than that: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=9,995+1983+dollars http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=9,995+1983+dollars

        LOL, I tried all sorts of variations but it never understood what I was on about.
