Question: What was a notable difference between the Apple IIc and the Newbear 77-68?

 Because it was designed to be assembled by its owner at home, it was also a homebuilt computer.  The 77-68 was designed by Tim Moore and was offered for sale by Bear Microcomputer Systems of Newbury, Berkshire, England from June 1977. The Newbear 77-68 was a kit of parts from which a purchaser could construct a home computer based around a Motorola 6800 microprocessor.  It was among the first, if not "the" first, of British home computers and was featured in the launch edition of Personal Computer World magazine in February 1978. <SEP> The Macintosh IIcx is a personal computer designed, manufactured and sold by Apple Computer, Inc. from March 1989 to March 1991.  Introduced half a year after the Macintosh IIx, the IIcx resembled the IIx to a great extent and provided the same performance, but was quieter (due to its quieter fan on a smaller power supply) than its predecessor.  Reducing the number of NuBus slots from 6 to 3 also made the machine much more compact.  The new case, Apple's first to be designed to operate in either a horizontal or vertical orientation, remained in use for its successors the IIci and Quadra 700.  The idea for vertical orientation, one of the first minitower cases, was suggested by Apple CEO John Sculley, who was running out of space on his desk, despite the fact that the new layout actually took more space once the monitor was taken into account.  The model was designated IIcx for "compact" (echoing the earlier Apple IIc compact model in the Apple II series), and the "x" was Apple's designation for the 68030 processor. <SEP>  The result was a 7.5 lb notebook-sized version of the Apple II that could be transported from place to place. The Apple IIc, the fourth model in the Apple II series of personal computers, is Apple Computer’s first endeavor to produce a portable computer.  The "c" in the name stood for "compact", referring to the fact it was essentially a complete Apple II computer setup (minus display and power supply) squeezed into a small notebook-sized housing.  While sporting a built-in floppy drive and new rear peripheral expansion ports integrated onto the main logic board, it lacks the internal expansion slots and direct motherboard access of earlier Apple IIs, making it a closed system like the Macintosh.  However, that was the intended direction for this model — a more appliance-like machine, ready to use out of the box, requiring no technical know-how or experience to hook up and therefore attractive to first-time users. <SEP> The Apple IIc Plus is the sixth and final model in the Apple II series of personal computers, produced by Apple Computer.  The ""Plus"" in the name was a reference to the additional features it offered over the original portable Apple IIc, such as greater storage capacity (a built-in 3.5-inch floppy drive replacing the classic 5.25-inch drive), increased processing speed, and a general standardization of the system components.  In a notable change of direction, the Apple IIc Plus, for the most part, did not introduce new technology or any further evolutionary contributions to the Apple II series, instead merely integrating existing peripherals into the original Apple IIc design.  The development of the 8-bit machine was criticized by quarters more interested in the significantly more advanced 16-bit Apple II.
