Business

Working on a Mac is intuitive, easy, and makes getting things done a lot more fun. Our operating system, Mac OS X Leopard, is simple and quick to master. In no time, you’ll find you and your colleagues are working more happily and efficiently than ever before.

Don’t let the designers have all the fun. Discover your creative side with iLife and iWork. In just a few swift clicks, you’ll be creating your own business cards and brochures, designing websites and showing off polished presentations. It’s easy to impress your clients and colleagues.

Macs are streamlined and simple — yet right out of the box they do more than you might expect. With iChat, you can video conference with colleagues from across the hall or across the planet — without ever picking up a phone or paying a long-distance bill. And consider lost files a thing of the past. Time Machine is a set-it-and-forget-it backup system that can rewind your computer to the moment right before you hit the delete button. Your Mac can keep your data, and your peace of mind, safe and sound.

Anything you need to do for your business, you can do on a Mac. Really. Any application, anytime. Not only is a Mac compatible with Microsoft Office, it’s the only computer that can run Windows and Mac programs side by side*.

* Requires additional third-party software — such as VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop — and Windows software. Or you can save a bit of cash and run Windows using the Boot Camp software that comes free with Mac OS X Leopard.

Mac user in a PC world? Don’t worry. Most popular applications for Mac and PC use the same file formats — making it easy to exchange documents with friends and colleagues — or move existing files from a PC to a Mac. Your peripherals can get in on the fun, too. Just connect your printer, camera or Bluetooth device and you’re ready to roll.

With an intuitive system, it isn’t often that you’ll be looking for assistance. But if the time comes, help is always close by. You can extend your computer’s 90 days of complimentary support with an award winning AppleCare Protection Plan to get additional help or questions answered. Alternatively, call 1800 92 38 98 to speak to a business consultant. We’re happy to help.

Macs come with two secret weapons for speed and security. The latest Intel processors make Macs run fast, and a UNIX foundation offers rock-solid security. Run as many applications as you’d like — and forget about the inevitable slowdown that happens with viruses. Macs are famous for having a clean bill of health.

Mac software is built to seamlessly work with Mac hardware. This means a Mac is less susceptible to the conflicts and crashes so common with a PC. But a Mac would never be content to just work beautifully. It also looks gorgeous and comes wrapped in a slim, sexy package that looks great at work and at home.

When making a feature-to-feature comparison, it’s clear that Macs are priced comparably to PCs. Customers tell us that Macs last longer, require less tech support and, in the long run, end up costing less than PCs. And when you consider licensing fees on server technology, Mac servers are downright inexpensive.

If you’ve been considering a Mac, there couldn’t be a better time. With Leopard, the newest version of our award-winning OS X operating system, we’ve outdone ourselves, with more than 300 innovations that take design, organisation, backup and simplicity further than ever before. Prepare to get more done, and have more fun with a Mac.
