Macs are streamlined and simple — yet right out of the box, they do more than you might expect. With iChat, you can videoconference with colleagues from across the hall or across the planet — without ever picking up a phone or paying a long-distance bill.

Your Mac can keep your data, and your peace of mind, safe and sound. Learn more about Leopard@work

*Requires additional third-party software such as VMware Fusion, Parallels Desktop and Windows software. Or, you can save a few bucks and run Windows using the Boot Camp software that comes free with Leopard.

Mac user in a PC world? Don’t worry. Most popular applications for Mac and PC use the same file formats—making it easy to exchange documents with friends and coworkers—or move existing files from a PC to a Mac. Your peripherals can get in on the fun, too. Just connect your printer, camera, or Bluetooth device and you’re ready to roll.

With an intuitive system, it isn’t often that you’ll be looking for assistance. But if the time comes, help is always close by. Visit an Apple store to chat with a business partner, sign-up for free workshops, get One to One training, sign up for ProCare, or ask questions at the Genius Bar. And remember to look at Apple Store calendars to find out what’s happening each week for business customers at your Apple Store. Additionally, you can find a local authorized reseller near you. You can also extend your computer’s 90 days of complimentary support with an award winning AppleCare Protection Plan to get additional help or questions answered. Call, click or come by. Or call 1-800-854-3680 for a Business Partner. We're happy to help.

Macs come with two secret weapons for speed and security. Intel dual- and quad-core processors make Macs run fast, and a UNIX foundation offers rock-solid security. Run as many applications as you’d like—and forget about the inevitable slowdown that happens with viruses. Macs are famous for having a clean bill of health.

Mac software is built to seamlessly work with Mac hardware. This means a Mac is less susceptible to the conflicts and crashes so common with a PC. But a Mac would never be content to just work beautifully. It also looks gorgeous— and comes wrapped in a slim, sexy package that looks great at work and at home. Learn more about Leopard@work

When making a feature-to-feature comparison, it’s clear that Macs are priced comparably to PCs. Customers tell us that Macs last longer, require less tech support and, in the long run, end up costing less than PCs. And when you consider licensing fees on server technology, Mac servers are downright inexpensive.

If you’ve been considering a Mac, there couldn’t be a better time. With Leopard, the newest version of our award-winning OS X operating system, we’ve outdone ourselves, with more than 300+ innovations that take design, organization, backup and simplicity further than ever before. Prepare to get more done, and have more fun with a Mac. Learn more about Leopard@work
