Macintosh II

 * Macintosh II — first personal computer model of the Macintosh II series and the first Macintosh to support a color display. It was announced with the Macintosh SE on March 2, 1987 but reportedly did not ship until April 1987.
 * Macintosh IIx — introduced by Apple in 1988 as an incremental update of the original Macintosh II model. It replaced the Motorola 68020 processor of the II with a 16 MHz 68030 processor (running at the same clock speed), and the 800K floppy drive with the SuperDrive.
 * Macintosh IIcx — a development of the Macintosh IIcx. Sharing the same compact case design with three expansion slots, the IIci replaces the 16 MHz Motorola 68030 with a 25 Mhz 68030 CPU.
 * Macintosh IIfx
 * Macintosh IIsi — a compact desktop unit, effectively a cut-down Macintosh IIci in a smaller case, made cheaper by the redesign of the motherboard and the deletion of all but one of the expansion card slots (a single processor direct slot).
 * Macintosh IIvi — a short-lived model of the Macintosh II series of Macintosh computers from Apple Computer. The IIvi included either a 40, 160, or 400 megabyte hard drive, three NuBus slots, and a PDS.
 * Macintosh IIvx

68k desktops

 * Macintosh LC — the first model in Apple Computer's low-cost Macintosh LC series. Its distinctively low profile design earned it the nickname "pizza box".
 * Macintosh LC II — the second model in Apple Computer's low-cost Macintosh LC series.
 * Macintosh LC III
 * Macintosh LC III+
 * Macintosh LC 475 — an entry-level 68LC040-based system from Apple Computer. Code-named "Aladdin" or "Primus", it was released on October 21, 1993 as part of the LC series for the educational market and discontinued on July 15, 1996.
 * Macintosh LC 630 — the least-expensive computer in the Macintosh lineup with prices starting at $1,199 USD.

68k all-in-ones

 * Macintosh LC 520 — turned the LC conception of "pizza boxes" on the head. Out came a strange, one-piece hybrid of the Macintosh LC III and the Macintosh Color Classic. The all-in-one design house a 14-inch color monitor, a disk drive and a CD-ROM drive, as well as a built-in microphone and stereo phase-shift speakers.


 * Macintosh LC 550
 * Macintosh LC 575
 * Macintosh LC 580 — featured a 33MHz 68LC040 processor and took 72 pin DIMMS. It externally resembled the LC 575, but was internally more similar to the LC 630, which added a Video I/O port that could accept Apple's TV tuner card, and replaced the internal SCSI hard disk with a less-expensive IDE version.

PowerPC all-in-ones

 * Power Macintosh 5200 LC
 * Power Macintosh 5300 LC — released in consumer configurations as the Performa 5300CD and 5320CD.

Macintosh Performa

 * Macintosh Performa 200 (Performa 1 in Europe) ― released in 1992 along with the Performa 400. This machine is identical to the Macintosh Classic II.
 * Macintosh Performa 400
 * Macintosh Performa 550
 * Macintosh Performa 600 ― an alternate name for the consumer version of the Macintosh IIvx
 * Macintosh Performa 5200
 * Macintosh Performa 6110 ― Apple Computer's first Performa to use the new PowerPC RISC processor created by IBM and Motorola.

Macintosh Quadra

 * Macintosh Quadra 700 — introduced with the Macintosh Quadra 900 on October 21, 1991 as Apple's first computers to use the Motorola 68040 processor, as well as the first to feature built-in ethernet networking.
 * Macintosh Quadra 900 — introduced by Apple Computer along with the Macintosh Quadra 700 on October 21, 1991 as the first high-end personal computer in the Quadra series.
 * Macintosh Quadra 800 — introduced on February 10, 1993 with the first new industrial design since the original Quadras, the 700, and 900/950.

Mac Pro
