Reason #2
Apple's new M2 chip
The M2 chip starts the next generation of Apple silicon, with even more of the speed and power efficiency of M1. So you can get more done faster with a more powerful 8‑core CPU. Create captivating images and animations with up to a 10-core GPU. Work with more streams of 4K and 8K ProRes video with the high‑performance media engine. And keep working — or playing — all day and into the night with up to 18 hours of battery life.
Reason #3
Our loooooooooooooooooongest battery life.
With jaw-dropping battery life — up to 18 hours — MacBook Air delivers the power to work where, how and for as long as you want.3
Reason #4
Mac works with (Intuitive) IT.
Set up devices from anywhere with zero-touch deployment. And manage Mac at any scale with mobile device management.
Reason #5
Mac works for companies that use Windows
Have a fleet of Microsoft Windows PCs or Servers? No problem. Macs can be managed alongside Windows PCs. Everything is centrally managed and controlled; like it should be for IT Managed Services. This means your staff can log in with the same credentials on a Mac or a PC, be under the same security policies and ensure team members aren't isolated based on their choice of technology.
Reason #6
Mac costs less in the long run.
With fewer support tickets, less software needed and higher residual value, the savings add up. Compared with a PC, a single Mac could save you $1,249 AUD over three years.4
Reason #7
The most innovative companies run on Mac.
Reason #8
Excel.
And so much more.
All the business apps you need run beautifully on Mac — from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace to SAP and Dropbox.6 And thanks to Apple silicon, popular iPhone and iPad apps for work can now run on Mac too.
Reason #9
Security’s built in.
Mac is secure out of the box thanks to built‑in features like hardware-verified secure boot, on-the-fly encryption, Touch ID and Gatekeeper.
Reason #10
Mac ❤ iPhone.
Mac feels just like the Apple devices employees know and love — and they all work together seamlessly. Copy and paste across devices. Use Handoff to start an email on one device and finish on another. And pick up calls anywhere.
Reason #11
It’s a pleasure to work with.
Give your team the devices they love and let them get down to business.
