Run Office and Windows.

Ready for anything.

A Mac can handle whatever school throws at you, even a whole different platform. Microsoft Office works great on a Mac. In fact, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files created on a Mac are compatible with Windows.

Thanks to Boot Camp, a Mac can run Windows XP and Vista as if your Mac were a PC. And even more amazing, with Parallels Desktop for Mac, you can run Windows programs right next to your Mac applications and get the best of both worlds.

Safe and secure.

A healthier computer.

Apple builds the computer and the software that comes with it. Since they’re literally made for each other, a Mac rarely freezes or crashes. A Mac is designed with security in mind.

Mac OS X is built on a rock-solid UNIX foundation to make it resistant to computer viruses, so you won’t have to worry about losing all your hard work. To be extra safe, Safari, the Apple web browser, alerts you whenever you’re downloading an application. And Apple makes free security updates available for Mac owners to download automatically.
