Background背景故事

The Macintosh Classic (October 1990) was Apple's attempt to recapture the low-end market, reviving the classic all-in-one design of the Macintosh Plus at a much lower price. Powered by the same 8 MHz 68000 processor as the 1984 original, it was deliberately unremarkable technically — but at US$999 it finally put a Macintosh within reach of students and home users. It sold over a million units, becoming one of Apple's best-selling Macs of its era.Macintosh Classic(1990 年 10 月)是 Apple 重奪低階市場的嘗試,以遠低的價格重現 Macintosh Plus 的經典一體成型設計。它沿用與 1984 年原始機型相同的 8 MHz 68000 處理器,技術上刻意中規中矩——但 US$999 的售價終於讓學生與家庭使用者負擔得起一部 Macintosh。其銷量突破百萬部,成為當代最暢銷的 Mac 之一。
