MacDat is home to the web's largest laptop specification database, and the most complete collection of Macintosh capacitor reference documentation on the internet.

February 28th, 2026 - The usual assortment of new Laptop Portal content, including a section for Sotec, tons of new photos, new drivers, and more! The site also has a new universal footer.
When is the next site update coming?
I work on the site almost every day, but I usually only push changes live once I have a good number of them built up. That typically comes around once per month.
Why does the website look old?
Beyond the fact that I'm just not very good at HTML/CSS, I much prefer the retro feel, especially for a retrocomputing site like MacDat. I also just feel like most modern websites are too generic and bland looking, and I don't want MacDat to be like that.
