Why get a Mac?

Since the software on every Mac is created by the same company that makes the Mac itself, you get a completely integrated

computer that’s as secure, stable, and powerful as it is elegant and easy to use.

Brains…

What’s inside a Mac? Only the world’s most advanced operating system and a suite of software that’s just as brilliantly designed as the computer itself.

  

…and beauty.

Recyclable glass and aluminum. A trip-proof power cord. A stunning display. Even the keyboard is beautiful. Get a closer look at a few of the design details that make a Mac a Mac.

A Mac has all the essentials built right in, including automatic protection from PC viruses, the latest wireless technology, advanced

Intel chips, and a rock solid operating system that’s loaded with innovations.

Doesn't get PC viruses.

Designed with security in mind, Mac OS X isn’t plagued by constant attacks from PC viruses and malware. Likewise, it won’t slow you down with constant security alerts and sweeps. Every Mac is secure right out of the box, so you can safely go about your work — or play — without interruption.

Instantly wireless.

A Mac makes wireless easy. Networks automatically appear, and you can get on the Internet with a few clicks.

A conversation piece.

Lots of computers come with built-in cameras these days. But only a Mac comes with iChat software that lets you have four-way video chats,1 give presentations, and even share your screen with people all over the world.

High performance.

With the latest Intel processors and other engineering leaps, a new Mac does all the things that only a Mac can do — at an astonishing speed.

Always up to date.

A Mac regularly checks for updates to Mac OS X and any included Apple software and automatically downloads them. So really, a Mac gets better with age.

Born ready.

Unlike other computers that require you to spend hours configuring devices, a Mac connects to your digital camera, wireless device, or external drive and just works. Really.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard

No other operating system — Vista included — offers the innovation and simplicity of Mac OS X. With Mac OS X Snow Leopard, the Mac leaps even further ahead with new features that let you do more with less effort.

  

iLife

“Out of the box,” says Walt Mossberg, of the Wall Street Journal, “the Mac has better photo, music, video, and DVD-creation software than any Windows computer I’ve seen.” That software is called iLife, and it comes standard on every Mac.

 

Jump-start your digital life.
