When you give employees the power to choose the tools they love, they’re inspired to do their best work. Offering Mac as an option helps institutions reduce overall costs and save IT support time — all with state-of-the-art features that make it simple to protect your data and devices.
Apple silicon integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine and more onto a single, tiny chip — bringing game-changing power and speed to everything you do. Thanks to the efficiency of Apple silicon, Mac delivers exceptional battery life with incredible performance, whether you’re plugged in or not.
Provide the tools that your employees are familiar with, use at home and love. It will enable them to be more productive and work with devices that are best for them.
Faulty and poor tech demotivates employees, which in turn generates poor productivity and damages staff retention. Provide a Mac choice programme to help secure existing talent and encourage new people to join your university.
Mac holds significant value over time with its reduced IT support costs, durability and high residual value, making it an ideal device for higher education. And when it’s time to upgrade, Mac can be traded in, allowing higher education institutions to recoup costs and reinvest in new devices.
Zero-touch deployment and robust management features on Mac save costs and time, so IT teams can get staff up and running quickly.
Mac has security features built straight in — no add-ons or additional purchases needed. Mac comes with state-of-the-art features that make it simple to protect your data and devices. And built-in frameworks enable IT to manage security system-wide. Together, Apple hardware, software and services make advanced security seamless.
Mac is compatible with most in-demand third-party software and tools used in higher education, including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace for Education, Canvas, Zoom and many more.
Your Mac devices are covered with AppleCare — a one-stop shop for service and support from Apple experts who know Mac best. Free macOS upgrades and 24/7 support bring operational efficiency to higher education institutions. And Apple offers professional training for IT teams with foundational to advanced content for deploying and managing Apple devices at scale.
