Apple Macintosh II

The Apple Macintosh II features a 16 MHz 68020 processor, 1 MB of RAM, a 40 MB or an 80 MB hard drive, and the option of an Apple Macintosh II video card in a relatively easy-to-expand desktop case. The Macintosh II was nicknamed the "Open Mac" because of its 6 NuBus slots which made expansion and customization easy. The Macintosh II was also the first color Macintosh and set a new standard for color in the computer industry.
