The Power Macintosh 5200 LC, introduced in April 1995, was an all-in-one PowerPC machine that mostly lived in North American classrooms, with consumer versions sold as the Performa 5200 and 5300.

Later models moved to the PowerPC 603e under 5300-and-up model numbers, but kept the same motherboard design, with the closely related 6200 reusing the logic board in desktop cases. By 1997 the line was discontinued, its work done in schools and dens across North America. It left behind a legacy of deceptive minimalism — a machine that looked modest and did more than it let on.
