Mac OS X

Everyday applications that work together.

Every Mac comes with applications that help you get things done. And because they’re made by Apple specifically for the Mac, everything works together so day-to-day tasks are easier than ever.
 

Get connected.

All new Mac computers are Wi-Fi capable, and available wireless networks show up automatically.3 So whether your network is at home or at school, wired or wireless, Mac or PC based, a Mac will fit right in. You can easily share files with any computer on your network, browse the web, and get your school or home email.

Work well with others.

With Mac OS X, you can use Microsoft Office, connect to most printers and cameras, join PC networks, and even run Windows.4 Unlike other computers that require you to spend hours configuring devices, a Mac connects to your digital camera, wireless device, or external drive right out of the box.

Automatic backup.

Never worry about losing files again. Time Machine, part of Mac OS X and included on every Mac, automatically saves up-to-date copies of everything — your photos, music, videos, documents, applications, and settings.5 So if you lose or accidentally delete that very important paper, you can easily go back in time to recover it.

Interactive messaging

iChat and the built-in iSight camera let you bring guests into the classroom via a video chat.2 Safari gives you fast, easy web browsing. And Mail and iCal use the contacts in Address Book, so you can quickly send messages or invitations to individuals and groups both inside and outside your institution.
