Apple IIc

The Apple IIc, introduced in April 1984, was the first compact and portable version of the Apple II series, designed to offer a plug-and-play experience without requiring expansion slots. It featured a 1.023 MHz 65C02 processor, 128KB of RAM (expandable to 1MB), a 512 × 342 monochrome display, and a built-in 5.25-inch floppy disk drive, making it a streamlined alternative to the Apple IIe. The IIc introduced Apple's Snow White design language, with a sleek off-white casing known as "Fog." While marketed as a portable computer, it lacked an internal battery or display, requiring an external monitor and power source. Despite these limitations, the IIc was widely compatible with Apple II software and peripherals, making it a popular choice for users seeking a more compact Apple II experience.
