== Model Variants ==

The LC 520 was available in several configurations during its seven-month production run:

=== Education Market (LC 520) ===
* '''LC 520 Standard''' – 5 MB RAM, 80 MB hard drive, 2X CD-ROM drive
* '''LC 520 Enhanced''' – 5 MB RAM, 160 MB hard drive, 2X CD-ROM drive

=== Consumer Market (Performa 520) ===
* '''Performa 520''' – Identical hardware to LC 520 with consumer software bundle
* Not sold in the United States market

The LC 520 required a caddy for CD-ROM discs, unlike the tray-loading drives in later models. All models shipped with System 7.1 and System Enabler 403 pre-installed.
