A //c+ is an improved version of the //c. For starters, it had a 3.5"
drive instead of a 5.25". It ran at a clock speed of about 3.3Mhz
(instead of ~1Mhz). It had an internal power supply (instead of an
external brick). It may have come with more RAM standard. I think there
was something special about the built-in ports that the //c didn't have.
//c's are pretty plentiful but it was Apple's first portable, so no
serious collector should be without one. The //c+ is a bit harder to come
across, but not impossible by any stretch.
