Macintosh SE

The Macintosh SE is a personal computer designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer, from March 1987 to October 1990. It marked a significant improvement on the Macintosh Plus design, notably due to its modular and expandable functionality, and was introduced by Apple at the same time as the Macintosh II. The SE retained the same Compact Macintosh form factor as the original Macintosh computer introduced three years earlier and used the same design language of the Macintosh II. An enhanced model, the SE/30, was introduced in January 1989, although sales of the original SE continued. The Macintosh SE was updated in August 1989 to include a SuperDrive, with this updated version being called the "Macintosh SE FDHD" and later the "Macintosh SE SuperDrive". The Macintosh SE was replaced by the Macintosh Classic, a very similar model that retained the same central processing unit and form factor but at a lower price point.
