The '''Macintosh Performa 5300''' is an all-in-one personal computer manufactured by Apple Computer, Inc., introduced on October 17, 1995. It is a non-CD-ROM variant of the [[Macintosh Performa 5300CD|Performa 5300CD]], sharing the same PowerPC 603e processor and 15" display but without the CD-ROM drive. | |||
The Performa 5300 was intended as a lower-cost entry point for consumers who did not require CD-ROM functionality. It shares its logic board (codenamed "Cordyceps") with the [[Macintosh Performa 5200CD|Performa 5200CD]] and [[Macintosh Performa 5300CD|Performa 5300CD]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Macintosh_Performa_5300 |title=Macintosh Performa 5300 |publisher=Apple Wiki |access-date=2026-02-10}}</ref> | |||
