It’s not just about getting into college. It’s about getting more out of it. That’s where Mac comes in.
Whatever your passion, Mac is loaded with tools to help you thrive. From math and science, to art and design, to podcasting and video chatting, a Mac enriches your college experience in ways that no other computer can. And because it’s built on industry standards, you’ll develop all the skills you need to hit the real world running.
Ten Reasons Why You’ll Love a Mac
- The Apple education discount.
As a student, you’re entitled to an exclusive discount on a Mac and Apple software. Buy at your campus store or from Apple. -
The world’s most advanced operating system.
With more than 300 new features, Mac OS X Leopard is the best Mac operating system yet. Innovative tools like Stacks, Quick Look, and Time Machine1 make your life easier. - Tight security.
No computer is 100% immune from viruses. But with its rock-solid UNIX foundation and built-in firewall, Mac OS X provides a level of security PCs only dream about. - Runs Office and Windows.
Mac has all the tools you need to succeed — no matter what your major. Every new Mac runs Microsoft Office2 with ease. Mac OS X Leopard also includes Boot Camp3, dual-boot software that lets you run Windows XP and Windows Vista and associated software on your Mac. Software from third parties lets you run Windows operating systems simultaneously at native speeds. -
Podcasts and video, not term papers and reports.
The days of writing long term papers and tedious reports are coming to an end. Today, students are expected to communicate their ideas and research in visually compelling ways, using music, photos, and movies. This is why Mac is ideal for college. Every Mac comes with Apple’s award-winning iLife suite of digital authoring tools preinstalled. With iLife, you’ll have everything you need to mix music, make movies, build websites, share photos, and create podcasts — right out of the box.
-
Built-in wireless.
Unlike some PCs, every new Mac comes equipped with built-in wireless so you can connect to any wireless network — in your dorm, around campus, or at your favorite café. - Integrates iTunes U seamlessly.
iTunes U is a free, innovative service that lets you access audio and video course materials anytime on your iPod or iPhone — and there’s no better way to take advantage of it than with a Mac. -
Runs iWork, making work feel like play.
Apple’s iWork4 runs on all Macs and includes Keynote for cinema-quality presentations, Pages for streamlined word processing, and Numbers for impressive spreadsheets. - Made for multitasking.
Mac is the perfect complement to life on campus. Every Mac works seamlessly with your iPod or iPhone so you can stay connected with your classmates and enjoy your library of iTunes U content, music, videos, and audiobooks — on the go. -
The cure for homesickness.
Video chatting is the easy way for you to keep in touch with friends and family — on campus or around the world. Use iChat5 and the built-in iSight camera to talk face-to-face with up to three people at once over any broadband network.
