The '''Apple IIc''' is a [[personal computer]] introduced by [[Apple Inc.]] shortly after the launch of the [[Macintosh 128K|original Macintosh]] in 1984. It is essentially a compact and portable version of the [[Apple IIe]]. The IIc has a built-in floppy disk drive and a keyboard, and was often sold with its matching monitor. The ''c'' in the name stands for ''compact'', referring to the fact it is a complete Apple II setup in a smaller notebook-sized housing. The computer is compatible with a wide range of Apple II software and peripherals.

The Apple IIc has rear peripheral expansion ports integrated onto the main [[logic board]] instead of the [[expansion slots]] and direct motherboard access of earlier Apple II models. Apple intended the Apple IIc to require less technical expertise to use. The Apple IIc weighs {{convert|7.5|lb|kg|abbr=on}}. It was succeeded by the [[Apple IIc Plus]] in 1988.
