MACINTOSH II
"Introduced in March 1987, The Mac II was the ultimate expandable Mac. Based on the new 68020 processor, the Mac II was the first 32-bit Mac (although it was not "32-bit clean). The Mac II included 6 Nubus slots, which allowed for a number of different Apple and Third Part expansion cards. The Mac II was the first Mac with color capabilities -- a graphics card could be installed capable of handling up to 16.7 million colors. It originally sold for $3,898 for the basic system, and at $5,498 for 1 MB of RAM, one 800K floppy disk drive and one 40 MB internal SCSI hard disk drive." (photo credit: AppleDesign)
MACINTOSH SE
"Released at the same time as the Mac II, the Mac SE further addressed the issue of expansion. It came in a new platinum case, had an expansion slot, and included a bay for either a second internal floppy drive, or an internal hard drive. The Mac SE was also one of the first Macs to include an Apple desktop bus (ADB), which allowed for up to 16 input devices. It sold for $2,898 for a dual floppy configuration."
