Announced in September 1989, The Mac Portable was Apple's first attempt at a more easily portable Macintosh. It had a 16 MHz 68000 processor, 1-5 MB of RAM (9 MB was theoretically available, but Apple never offered the upgrade), SCSI, and floppy ports, and a stereo audio output. It had a bay for a 3.5" half-height drive, and could support up to two Super Drives. Reaction to the Portable was poor. It was clunky, slow, had no expansion capabilities, and its active matrix screen (later backlit) made it incredibly expensive. It sold for $6,500, and from March 1991 on it was sold with a backlit screen. The Portable was discontinued in October 1991.
