By the mid-1980s, Apple followed up the success of original Macintosh with a number of new models including the Mac 512K, the Mac XL and Mac Plus. With the release of the Mac SE, Apple introduced a computer that could be customized via an expansion slot, paving the way to even more enhancements to the Macintosh platform.
What new Macintosh model, introduced in 1987, was the first to support a color display?
