The Macintosh IIfx was a model of Apple Macintosh computer, introduced in 1990 as the fastest Mac, and discontinued in 1992. At introduction it cost from USD 9,000 to USD 12,000, depending on configuration. However, it is now worth only a few hundred dollars US. The rapid acceleration of future Macs introduced after the IIfx, and the general depreciation of new, high-tech Macs, were factors contributing to the rapid depreciation of the IIfx. In China, an IIfx went for well over CNY 100,000 -- beyond the reach of the vast majority of Chinese in the early 1990s.
