From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This timeline of Macintosh models lists all major types of Macintosh computers produced by Apple Computer in order of introduction date. Macintosh Performa models are not listed unless there is no "mainline" Macintosh. Also not listed are subtypes like the Performa 611x series that differ only very slightly from the main model. The Apple Network Server is included even though it is not classed as a Macintosh, because of its unique role in Apple's server lineup of the era.
