The Macintosh Performa 5200, first of the 5200 series.
The Power Macintosh 5200 LC series (also sold under variations of the name Performa 5200) is a series of all-in-one (meaning the cases feature an integrated monitor) personal computer that are a part of Apple Computer's Macintosh LC, Power Macintosh and Macintosh Performa series of Macintosh computers.

It was introduced in April 1995 with a PowerPC 603 CPU at 75 MHz as a PowerPC-based replacement of the Macintosh LC 500 series. Later models switched to the PowerPC 603e CPU and used model numbers above 5260, but kept the same motherboard design. The 5200 series was replaced by the Power Macintosh 5500. Unlike previous education models, which prepended the model number with "LC", the 5200 series uses the Power Macintosh designation of Apples main workstation line of the time and appends the LC to the end of the model name. All models in the 5X00 series featured an integrated 15" (12.8" viewable) monitor. Today some schools still utilize these computer due to the lack of money to purchase new ones.

The 5200 series is closely related to the 6200 series, which features the same logic boards in desktop cases without integrated monitors. This means that it also shares the 6200's massive and confusing number of model designations and its unusual architecture with an 64-bit data path PowerPC CPU on an 32-bit data path logic board adapted from the Quadra 605[1]. This is the reason for various performance and stability issues, leading to the 5200 (and the 6200) series computers generally being regarded as among the worst Macintoshes ever produced. [1][2]

Introduced in April 1995, the original 5200s use a 75 MHz PowerPC 603 CPU. The Power Macintosh 5200 LC was only sold to the education market, while the Performa models were sold to consumers. In April 1996, they were replaced by the 5260-related models, but some Performa models remained available for a longer time.

The 5260/5300, introduced in August 1995, replaced the 6200's PowerPC 603 CPU with the newer PowerPC 603e. The rest of the architecture remained unchanged. The Power Macintosh 5400 with a new revised architecture was introduced shortly after, but the 5260/5300 was kept available as a lower-end model.

Models

  • Power Macintosh 5260/100: North American education model with 100 MHz CPU, 8 or 16 MiB of RAM, and a 800 MB hard disk
  • Power Macintosh 5260/120: Later North American education model with 120 MHz CPU, 16 MiB of RAM and a 1.2 GB hard disk
  • Power Macintosh 5300 LC: The 5260/120, but with the slower 100 MHz processor of the 5260/100
  • Macintosh Performa 5260CD: The Power Macintosh 5260/100, also available with the smaller 800 MB hard disk
  • Macintosh Performa 5260/120: Consumer version of 5260/120, only sold in Europe and Asia.
