Macweek reports three models coming in Fall 1991.

*16 MHz 030; active-matrix, backlit LCD; 7 lbs; <$5000 (Mac IIsi-like)

*16 MHz 020; supertwist, backlit LCD; 7 lbs.; <$4000 (Mac LC-like)

*16 MHz 68000; supertwist, backlit LCD; 5.5 lbs.; <$2500

The 68000 model lacks a floppy disk.

Longer-range prediction: the Mac Companion, -030 based, touch input and
DSP, 3.5 lbs., sometime in 1992.
