Macintosh Centris series

thumb|208px|right|
The Centris series was a very short-lived line of Macintosh computers that was introduced and discontinued in 1993. The name indicated that it was positioned in the "center" of Apple Computer's product line, between the consumer grade LC / Performa series and the professional grade Quadra series. The machines were based on the 68040-series of processors from Motorola. Only 3 models were made before Apple discontinued the line.The Short-Lived History of the Macintosh Centris - The Tech Table by SFC Productions, YouTube. 2018-09-18.
