Micro-Professor II (MPF-II) is an Apple II clone introduced in 1982 by Multitech (later renamed to Acer). It is Multitech second branded computer product and also one of the earliest Apple II clones. The MPF II doesn't look like most other computers, with its case being a slab with a small chiclet keyboard on the lower part.
In 1983, the Micro-Professor II had a retail price of £269.00 in the UK and 2995FF in France.
One key feature of the MPF-II was its Chinese BASIC, a version of Chinese-localized BASIC based and compatible with Applesoft BASIC. Versions of the machine sold in Europe, Northern America, India, Singapore, and Australia didn't have Chinese localization.
Peripherals for the machine included a two floppy disk drive controller and a thermal printer.
