| has gloss | eng: The Macintosh LC 500 series is a series of personal computers that is a part of Apple Computers LC line of Macintosh computers. It was Apples mid-1990s upper low end-range series, positioned below the Centris and Quadra but above the Classic II and Color Classic models. All of these computers were also sold under the Macintosh Performa brand, in some cases under slightly different model numbers. These computers all share the same case, a new all-in-one desktop that includes a large 14" CRT display, CD-ROM drive, and stereo speakers. Designed as a successor to the outdated compact all-in-one Macintosh, the case is reminiscent of Apples earlier Compact Macintosh series but considerably larger and bulkier, with a screen diagonal of 14 inches (compared to the Compacts 9- or 10-inch screens) and a bulging midsection to contain the larger electronics, in stark contrast to the compact Macs' slimmer designs. |
