Its notable new features, compared to its similar predecessor, the Macintosh Plus, were: The 'SE' is an initialism for 'System Expansion'. The Macintosh SE was introduced at the AppleWorld conference in Los Angeles on March 2, 1987. The Macintosh SE was replaced with the Macintosh Classic, a very similar model which retained the same central processing unit and form factor, but at a lower price point.
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'.
An enhanced model, the SE/30, was introduced in January 1989 sales of the original SE continued. The SE retains the same Compact Macintosh form factor as the original Macintosh computer introduced three years earlier and uses the same design language used by the Macintosh II. It marked a significant improvement on the Macintosh Plus design and was introduced by Apple at the same time as the Macintosh II.
The Macintosh SE is a personal computer designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer, from March 1987 to October 1990. 1 MB RAM, expandable to 4 MB (150 ns 30-pin SIMM)
