The Macintosh Performa series was Apple Computer's consumer prouct family of Apple Macintosh personal computers from 1992 until 1997, when the introduction of the Power Macintosh x500 ended this product line. The Performa series was not a new line of computers, but simply renamed models from Apple's regular line of computers that were sold in computer stores, such as Quadra, Centris, LC, and Power Mac. The series was introduced in 1992 with the Performa 200, which was essentially a renamed Macintosh Classic II. Nearly every member of the Mac LC series existed as a Performa version, as did the Power Macintosh 6100. Systems that were not branded as Performas were largely intended for the education market.
