The Macintosh Plus was introduced two years after the original Macintosh. It originally shipped with a beige case, but was later manufactured in the long-lived "platinum" color.

It was the first Macintosh model to include SCSI capability, thus making it compatible with (and boosting the popularity of) the Apple Hard Disk 20 (HD20), a 20 MB hard drive which was introduced by Apple in 1985.

An all-in-one unit, the Plus had a one-bit, 9" black & white display, common to Macs of the period.
