#OLD APPLE COMPUTERS COLOR MAC#
You’ve got the Macintosh TV, the Performa 5440 (not on this list, but also relatively rare and sold only in Japan), and now the 550c.Ĭonsidering the how popular these black machines are with collectors today, it makes you wonder: Why didn’t Apple just release a mainstream black Mac in the United States? I’ll tell you why: That would have been like launching the miniskirt in 1930. Sounds pretty good, right? It does-until you realize that you could buy it only in Japan.Īpple fans may spot a trend among rare 1990s Macs. PowerBook 550c expanded its predecessor’s hard drive and display size, and even enhanced its CPU. One year after the PowerBook 540c, the sleek, all-black Limited to sales primarily in Japan and Canada, these rare beasts are difficult to find in Apple’s own homeland. Of course, there’s a catch: The Color Classic II never (officially) graced the shores of the United States. With a motherboard that about doubled the CPU speed and RAM capacity of its predecessor, collectors prize the Color Classic II for being what the original Color Classic should have been. The Apple Computer of old loved computer sequels, and, accordingly, theĬolor Classic II served as the second act to February 1993’sĬolor Classic. Other than all that, it appears to be a relatively unassuming PowerBook 170. It sports a mostly blue body with a white lid and base, red battery doors and contrast sliders, yellow hinge caps and trackball, and green elevating feet. If you ever set your hands upon this colorful machine, you’ll have yourself quite a prize.Īpple must have had a field day picking the colors for this machine. eBay is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple.In 1992, Apple manufactured approximately 500 multicolored PowerBook 170 models toĬommemorate the 1992 JLPGA golf tournament in Japan.
