Macintosh TV

Apple's first Macintosh with a built-in TV tuner switches its 14-inch Sony Trinitron screen between the computer and cable TV. It cannot show TV in a window, but it can save still frames as PICT files. Inside it is essentially a Performa 520, with a 32 MHz 68030 and 5 MB of RAM, expandable to 8 MB. It was also the first black Mac, sold with a remote control, and only about 10,000 were made.
