Macintosh LC II

The Macintosh LC II is a personal computer designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer from March 1992 to March 1993. The LC II succeeded the LC which would be discontinued, replacing its Motorola 68020 processor with a 68030 and increasing the onboard memory to 4 MB. The LC II was priced at US$1,699 (equivalent to $3,900 in 2025), a reduction of US$800 (equivalent to $1,840 in 2025) compared to the original LC when it was introduced.

In September 1992, Apple introduced the Macintosh Performa family of consumer-oriented computers. The LC II was repackaged as the Performa 400. When LC II was succeeded by the Macintosh LC III in early 1993, the LC II continued to be sold in some markets for some time after that. In North America, although the use of the LC II branding ceased, two new Performa models (the 405 and 430) were introduced in its place. In October, the Performa 400, 405 and 430 were all discontinued and a new LC II-based model called the Performa 410 was introduced which became Apple's new entry-level computer.
