First launched in 1977, the Apple II was one of the original home computers and the first to offer colour graphics and built-in audio by default.
The Apple IIe (styled as Apple //e) is the third model in the Apple II series. It was released in January 1983 as the successor to the Apple II Plus. The e in the name stands for enhanced. It is the first Apple II with built-in lowercase and 80-column text support, as well as 64K RAM, while reducing the total chip count from previous models by approximately 75%.
The Apple IIc is the fourth model in the Apple II series. It was introduced shortly after the launch of the original Macintosh in 1984. The c in the name stands for compact. It is essentially a remarkably compact version of the Apple IIe. The IIc has a built-in floppy disk drive and a keyboard, and was often sold with its matching monitor.
