Why choose Mac for your school or college?

Apple M1 Processor

Mac continues to innovate and its ecosystem is perfect for supporting ambitious artists, designers and musicians working on fun and exciting projects. Highly-powered and high-performing for multipixel tasks and apps, student productivity can be taken to a whole new level, especially with the arrival of Mac powered by the new Apple M1 chip.

Packed with power

With industry-leading performance, powerful features and incredible efficiency, M1 is Apple’s first chip designed specifically for the Mac. It's Apple's most powerful chip yet, that will keep pace with the most demanding software used in creative subjects.

Works perfectly with other Apple devices

Mac fits perfectly into your school, college or university's Apple ecosystem.  Students can start a presentation on their Mac, then rehearse it on their iPhone or iPad when they're on the go, whilst files can be seamlessly accessed on any device.

Integrates seamlessly into your learning environment

Now with Microsoft Azure Active Directory support, it’s easier than ever to provide your students and staff with access to key Apple services for teaching and learning. Mac integrates seamlessly into your learning environment and with Apple School Manager, IT administrators can deploy Mac easily via a simple web-based portal.

Mac does more. So your students can too.

Mac is powerful, capable, and packed with everything your students need to take their work to the next level. They can take their productivity and creativity further with apps for anything they can imagine, including those from Microsoft Office 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud without missing a beat.1 Mac makes it all happen.

Always intuitive. Never intimidating.

Mac makes it easy for students to find what they need, stay organised and take on any task. Mac's clear, simple design is familiar and intuitive - especially if they're used to using other Apple devices. It's a breeze to manage multiple windows and keep track of files. And with quick access to all the controls students will need, navigating Mac is easier than ever.

Keep what’s private, private. Mac is no exception

Apple products are built with an integrated approach to privacy and security, providing schools with devices, apps and services that keep student work and personal information secure. Mac is no exception. And with Managed Apple IDs, you can control student information and choose to enable or disable apps and services such as iMessage, FaceTime, or student progress reporting with the Schoolwork app.
