I had forgotten the Mac Plus was on sale for that long. I got one (well, my father bought it) in 1988. While I was thrilled to finally have a Mac, I remember wishing he'd bought the SE instead, since it looked better, had ADB, and also the option for an internal hard drive. Instead I got a Jasmine 40MB external drive that sat underneath the Mac Plus. Dorky-looking but man I loved that computer. Its startup chime (well, it was a single note, more of a beep) will be etched in my mind forever.
The local Mac users' group had a Mac II--now that thing was cool. 256 colors!
OK, back to the 21st century
Edit: Technically, the Mac Plus was changed in 1987... they switched it to platinum plastic instead of beige
Not meaningful change but, yes they've upgraded the GPUs too. Hexa model had D300 in 2013, now have D500, Octa had D500, D700 now.
That was simply a price drop. They didn't change anything about the hardware as far as I know.
Like I've said to @bookemdano, they've upgraded the GPUs too: hexa-core model had D300 in 2013, now the basic model with hexa has a D500, Octa had D500, D700 now.
On what do you make this assertion? cMP is nothing special, it's equivalent to HPs Z x00 series, the nMP is equivalent (if you can call it that) to their x20 series. Neither competes with their zx40 series let alone the new Zx series.
