Macintosh Classic
The Macintosh Classic is a personal computer designed, manufactured and sold by Apple Computer from October 1990 to September 1992. It was the first Macintosh to sell for less than US$1,000.

The system specifications of the Classic are very similar to those of its predecessors, with the same monochrome CRT display, 512 × 342pixel resolution, and 4megabyte (MB) memory limit of the older Macintosh computers. Apple's decision to not update the Classic with newer technology such as a newer CPU, higher RAM capacity or color display resulted in criticism from reviewers, with ''Macworld'' describing it as having "nothing to gloat about beyond its low price" and "unexceptional".
