Power Macintosh 5200 LC
Performa 5200CD
All-in-Ones1995Uncommon
Apple's first PowerPC all-in-one consumer Mac, the 5200 LC replaced the LC series that had served schools for years. Based on a 75 MHz 603 processor, the 5200 LC was notoriously slow for its era — the LC bus design bottlenecked the processor badly enough that contemporary 68040 machines sometimes outpaced it on real-world tasks. Apple engineers later cited it as an example of what happens when cost-cutting overrides architecture. Its successors, the 5400 and 5500, corrected the worst of its problems.
