The Macintosh Performa 5210CD is a model of Apple's Performa 5200 series, an all-in-one Macintosh with a 75 MHz PowerPC 603 and a built-in 15-inch monitor.[1] Apple's technical specifications say it was not sold in the US and list J-7.5.1, the Japanese edition of System 7.5.1, as its original system software.[1] EveryMac says it was sold in Asia and Europe, gives the order number M3970J/A and a discontinuation date of July 1, 1996.[2] Apple's figures for it are those of the Performa 5200CD with a 500 MB hard drive and a 4× CD-ROM drive, and Apple notes that some systems have 8-bit sound.[1]
