Mac

Power to make
big things happen.

Mac has been empowering the world’s leading engineers, artists, scientists, designers, and musicians for decades. And it’s been doing the same for students too. Because it’s packed with power for their most ambitious ideas. High-performance graphics and processors, advanced storage and memory, and breathtaking Retina displays all come together to run pro-level apps for any passion.

Big on performance.
Light in the backpack.

Retina Display

For more expansive forms of expression.

The high-resolution Retina display on Mac is great for students who need the extra screen space for big projects, and the clarity to fine-tune even the smallest detail. That’s essential if they demonstrate an interest in things like graphic design, engineering, or video editing, or appreciate reading crisp, clear text when researching online or writing their latest paper.

Performance

Desktop power. Desk optional.

With high-performance processors, cutting-edge graphics, and superfast flash storage, Mac has the power to create and move massive project files and simultaneously run multiple pro-level apps. And all that power is encased in an incredibly thin and light design, so students and teachers can get work done almost anywhere.
Battery

All-day battery life.

Mac puts unprecedented performance into an impossibly thin design, yet still provides all-day battery life — up to 12 hours.* So teachers and students are free to keep building, designing, developing, or composing without being tethered to the closest outlet.
Keyboard and Trackpad

For extra precision.

The full-size keyboard is comfortable and precise for writing and coding. Unlike other notebooks, the spacious Force Touch trackpad on a Mac lets you click anywhere. And it knows what you want it to do based on intuitive gestures like pinch-to-zoom and subtle differences in pressure.

Apps to get students started.
And apps to take them further.

Every Mac comes with powerful apps for productivity and creativity built in. The Mac App Store has thousands of additional apps designed specifically for education. And there are professional apps for everything from video editing to CAD illustration.

Professional Apps

Turn a passion project into a full‑on production.

Mac gives students more opportunities to grow professional skill sets. Apple-designed apps like Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X are great for video editors and musicians. And qualifying institutions can get them at a special price. For coders, there’s Xcode for building their own apps. And third-party apps like Microsoft Office, Photoshop, and AutoCAD work great on Mac too.

Built-in Apps

Ready to craft, calculate, communicate, or illustrate.

Every Mac comes ready to create with Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iMovie, GarageBand, and Photos. Book reports and term papers look stunning. Spreadsheets become canvases for visualizing data. Students have a creative studio to explore and present any idea. And teachers have everything they need to craft compelling assignments and beautiful materials.

The Mac App Store makes it simple to browse and discover thousands more apps from education software developers, so students and teachers can dive deeper into almost any subject.

Run with ideas across all devices.

Mac does a lot. And when students use it with other Apple devices, it does even more. They can snap a photo on their iPhone or start an idea on an iPad, and pick it up on a Mac to make it even richer. iCloud safely stores all their documents, apps, and projects, keeping them up to date, secure, and accessible from any authorized Apple device.
