Power Macintosh 5260
Mac · Power Macintosh · discontinued 1 March 1997
The Power Macintosh 5260 is a personal computer designed, manufactured and sold by Apple Computer, Inc. from April 1996 to March 1997. It is a replacement for the Power Macintosh 5200 LC, retaining its all-in-one form factor while replacing its PowerPC 603 CPU with the newer and faster PowerPC 603e, and dropping the "LC" brand. As was standard practice at the time for Apple, the 5260 was re-branded as a number of Performa models and sold to consumer markets, while the 5260 itself was primarily sold to the North American education market as a Power Macintosh.
The Power Macintosh 5400, also an all-in-one model, was introduced at the same time but had a significantly different logic board that retires the Processor Direct Slot in favour of PCI.
