Macintosh LC III(1993)

역사적 배경

The Macintosh LC III was sold from February 1993 to February 1994. It replaced the commercially successful Macintosh LC II in Apple's lineup of mid-range computers, and was significantly faster, with MacWorld Magazine benchmarks showing 2x performance in all major categories - CPU, disk, video and maths. It was also significantly less expensive; the LC III with an 80 MB hard disk was priced at $1,349 U.S. at introduction, $700 less than the LC II. The LC III was sold primarily (but not exclusively) to educational institutions, and a corresponding Performa variant called the Performa 450 was sold to the consumer market.
