Apple Macintosh Classic Series

 
 
Apple's Macintosh "Classic" series was sold from January 1984 to February 1995. Please note that Apple has not officially acknowledged a "classic" series, but it is the easiest way to categorize all of the older all-in-one models released before Apple had clearly defined product lines.
   

Apple Macintosh (128k)
 
The Apple Macintosh (128k) features an 8 MHz 68000 processor, 128k of RAM, and a 400k disk drive in a beige all-in-one case with a 9" monochrome display. The Macintosh (128k) was the first relatively inexpensive computer to use a graphical user interface, 3.5" disks, a consistent look-and-feel among applications, and true WYSIWYG printing, all of which are taken for granted today. This computer started a different way of thinking, allowing the user to concentrate on working rather than struggling to get the computer to work.
 

Apple Macintosh Plus
The Apple Macintosh Plus features an 8 MHz 68000 processor, 1 MB of RAM, and an 800k disk drive in a beige all-in-one case with a 9" monochrome display. The Macintosh Plus was the first Macintosh to have a double-density 800k disk drive, a SCSI port to allow external expansion, and RAM slots to allow the RAM to be expanded beyond the pre-installed limit.
 

Apple Macintosh SE/30
The Apple Macintosh SE/30 features a 16 MHz 68030 processor, 1 MB of RAM, and either a 40 MB or 80 MB hard drive in a compact all-in-one case with a 9" monochrome display. Basically, the SE/30 is the IIcx in a smaller case with fewer expansion options, and is the fastest of all of the monochrome compact Macs. For additional information on the Macintosh SE/30, check out the excellent Macintosh SE Support Pages.
 

Apple Macintosh Classic
The Apple Macintosh Classic, a redesigned version of the Macintosh SE, features an 8 MHz 68000 processor, 1 MB or 2 MB of RAM, and either a 1.44 MB disk drive or a 1.44 MB disk drive and a 40 MB hard drive in a sleek, compact all-in-one case with a 9" monochrome display.
 

Apple Macintosh TV (MacTV)
The Apple Macintosh TV (MacTV), features a 32 MHz 68030 processor, 5 MB of RAM, a 160 MB hard drive, and an integrated TV tuner in a stylish, black all-in-one case with a 14" color display. The MacTV is unique both for being the first Macintosh with built-in television capabilities and for being the first, and only, black Macintosh to ship in North America.
