Introduced in April 1995, The 5200 LC was the first LC model with a PowerPC chip. Released initially only in educational markets, the 5200 LC was powered by a 75 MHz 603 processor, a lower voltage variant of the 601, and came in a restyled LC 550 all-in-one case. It sold for $2000, and was replaced in April 1996 by the faster 5260. The 5200 was also released in Apple's Performa line as the Performas 5200CD, 5210CD, 5215CD, and 5220CD, each of which had different hardware and software bundles.
