Built on the world’s most advanced operating system, the Mac is as easy to use as it is powerful. It comes with applications that help students create amazing projects. And you can do even more with iWork, pro applications, and OS X Server.

A better computer. Inside and out.

With the latest Intel processors, long battery life, and a rock-solid operating system, the Mac is reliable, secure, and easy to use. Perfect for the classroom — and beyond.

Designed to last.

Every Mac is precisely designed for a long, productive life. Made from high-quality materials like aluminum and glass, a Mac can stand up to the rigors of any classroom. And the Mac is just as well designed inside. With fast Intel processors, advanced graphics, and notebook batteries that last up to 7 hours on a single charge,¹ Mac computers deliver amazing performance for practically any task.

The world's most advanced operating system.

With features like Multi-Touch gestures, full-screen apps, and Dictation, OS X Mountain Lion takes the Mac further than ever before.

OS X Mountain Lion. It’s what makes a Mac a Mac.

Every Mac comes with OS X Mountain Lion, which includes features that make teaching, learning, and collaborating more engaging and dynamic. Multi-Touch gestures make navigating and zooming in on content easy. Full-screen apps use every inch of the Mac display, so you can be completely immersed in your work. Say goodbye to manually saving documents with Auto Save, and quickly review the history of documents with Versions. OS X Mountain Lion lets you connect to most printers and cameras, join PC networks, and even use Microsoft Office. And iCloud integration makes student work — including messages, reminders, and notes — available across Mac and iOS devices automatically.

The built-in apps are great for education, too. Teachers or students can present content on a Mac that the entire class can see with Airplay Mirroring. The new Safari Share Button allows sharing of web pages in the classroom through Mail, Messages, and social media. The Dictation feature lets teachers and students dictate what they want to type. Gatekeeper makes student work on a Mac more secure than ever. Guests can visit the classroom via video chats using the built-in camera and FaceTime. Mountain Lion even makes it easier for classmates to update each other via Facebook and Twitter. And the Mac App Store contains thousands of apps, including apps specifically designed for education.
