Macintosh IIci
Desktops1989Uncommon
The IIci was the sweet spot of the Mac II family: a 25 MHz 68030 with built-in video, 8-bit color without an expansion card, and a cache slot that made it significantly faster with the right accessory. It became the standard professional Mac for graphic designers and desktop publishers throughout the early 1990s.
