  "summary": "A working Apple I computer, expected to fetch between $500,000 and $800,000, is set to tour the United States before going up for auction in July 2026. This particular model, known as the Hatfield Apple I, was originally purchased from Apple in 1976 by enthusiast Fred Hatfield. The computer's motherboard is signed by Steve Wozniak, and it also comes with a letter from Steve Jobs. The auction house Bonhams is estimating the final sale price based on the recent $499,363 sale of another working Apple I, as well as additional elements that enhance the piece's value.",
