Any Apple Mac computer with an Apple silicon chip inside.

This support forum is for anything Apple, before the 128K - this includes the Apple Lisa, Apple III, Apple II; or anything shortly thereafter which wasn't running Mac OS, such as the Macintosh XL.

General questions, concerns, anything which might not fit into a particular category.

Have a Mac you'd like to share? A project you're working on, or just a post you'd like to make - as if it were on social media? General Posting is just for that - treat it as if it were a LEM community feed where people can post things they'd like.

Any Mac with an intel chip. If it was made by Apple, tested by Apple (such as a dev kit), and it has an intel chip.

For all iPhones, iPads, iDevices, and Apple Watches.

This is mostly for "New world" PowerPC Macs, which mostly arrived after Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997. They are mostly characterized by semi-translucent, translucent, and colorful plastics. Some models such as the Power Mac G5 had an industrial, Metal aluminum design. Some Macs such as 1997-2000 G3 PowerBooks may fall into this category or another, depending on the question asked. It all depends on the type of Macs you're going to network/use it with, but for that range of Macs in particular, either forum category is fine.

Everything from the Mac 128K - Old World Beige G3 Macs. "Old World" Macs such as the 1998-2000 PowerBook G3 can fall into either this or the 1998-06 PowerPC category.

As of Late 2026, Low End Mac is present in four online social media platforms: FaceBook, Bluesky. X, and Instagram. On FaceBook, the main group has over 14,000 members, and we also have a smaller group for iOS/iPads/iPhones also. On Bluesky since the site is more like twitter, it’s more of a newsfeed to see the latest posts from LEM, as well as related posts shared by our Low End Mac editors. With the closure of many online support communities including the longstanding Apple Support Community since 1998, Low End Mac has decided to launch their own forum!
