Best Answer

Steve Jobs had nothing to do with the original design of the Macintosh computer. Jobs was working with the group creating the Apple Lisa computer when the Macintosh project was started by Jef Raskin. Raskin created a team of Apple engineers and designers to work on the Macintosh. Jobs left the Lisa team and started working with the Macintosh team but Raskin did not like the ideas Jobs was coming up with and so left the Macintosh team leaving Jobs in charge.

Why did Steve Jobs build the first Macintosh?

Steve Jobs was a late comer to the Macintosh project which was started in the late 1970s by Apple engineer Jef Raskin who was joined by a team of Apple employees. Jobs was working on the Lisa computer at the time. As the Macintosh idea grew Jobs took over the project and Raskin eventually left after conflicts with Jobs. The Macintosh adopted many ideas that Jobs brought from the Lisa and it eventually more resembled Jobs' ideas than Raskin's. The Lisa was too expensive for a mass market product so Jobs wanted to push the Macintosh design as an affordable computer using the then innovative mouse and a graphical user interface rather than a command-line interface.
