Lisp Machines and Smalltak. We're still catching up to a lot of things that were possible with these systems.

iOS. When it was launched, it was far ahead of Blankberry's OS.

GeoWorks.

Here's a full GUI vector graphics/word processor/productivity app suite with clean Motif-esque decor and solid multitasking... and it runs on a 512k machine with a 5MHz CPU.

The C64 predecessor was impressive too, but straddles the other side of toy/professional IMO.
