NeXTdimension

a.k.a. Color Cube

Overview

NeXT overhauled their entire line in Sept. 1990, introducing the NeXTdimension as a more powerful replacment for the original Cube - and adding color while they were at it. At just $17,615, it offered Quadra 900 speed at about the same price as a Mac IIfx 8/160 with a 12" b&w screen. And the NeXTstation included more memory, a larger hard drive, a 17" b&w display, and ethernet (the IIfx still used LocalTalk).
