Macintosh Plus
The Macintosh Plus is the third model in the Compact Macintosh line, introduced on January 16, 1986, two years after the original Macintosh and slightly more than a year after the Macintosh 512K, at a price of US$2,599 (equivalent to $7,630 in 2025). As an evolutionary improvement over the 512K, it shipped with 1 MB of RAM, expandable to 4 MB, and introduced a higher-speed external SCSI peripheral bus, among other improvements.
The Macintosh Plus initially used the same beige case color as the original Macintosh. During production, Apple changed the case color to the warm gray "Platinum" color used on many of its other products.
The Macintosh Plus remained in production until October 15, 1990, more than three years after the introduction of its successor, the Macintosh SE. It continued to be sold as a lower-cost model and was also offered to educational institutions at a discounted price as the Macintosh Plus ED.
