From the MacBook and iMac to iPod and iPhone, Apple hardware is made for education. Mac computers and Apple products are reliable, durable, compatible and easy to use, making them perfect for day-to-day student use. Included Apple software such as iLife and Mac OS X is designed with full integration in mind. So everything just works.
Questions Answered
Can a Mac run Windows?
Yes. Every Mac includes Boot Camp, which lets you run Windows natively. Or you can purchase an application such as VMware Fusion to run Mac OS X and Windows side by side.
Is a Mac reliable?
Yes. Because Apple builds both the computer and the software that comes with it, they’re literally made for each other. This means a Mac rarely freezes or crashes.
Is a Mac secure?
Yes. The Mac is built on a solid UNIX foundation and designed with security in mind, making viruses and spyware much less of a problem.
Notebooks
The new MacBookThe world’s greenest family of notebooks.
Every new MacBook is built using materials that are highly recyclable and free of many harmful substances present in other computers. Apple engineers also design the software and hardware to work together to maximise energy efficiency and minimise the carbon footprint of the MacBook. Even the packaging has been reduced, so the smaller boxes are easier to ship and there is less material to recycle. The result is exactly what we hoped for: the greenest family of notebooks ever made.
The MacBook family is perfect for today's students. The 13-inch MacBook, the new 13 and 15-inch MacBook Pro, along with the revolutionary MacBook Air, are all powerful, light and durable enough for mobile learning. And many built-in features make the MacBook family perfect for education. For instance, the magnetic power connector pulls away if someone trips over it. And the Sudden Motion Sensor protects the hard drive in the event that the notebook is dropped.
