It’s made from strong, beautiful materials like aluminum and glass. It comes with the latest technology — powerful processors, advanced graphics, and fast memory. And it has features you won’t find on a PC. So from the outside in, a Mac is designed to be a better computer.
Designed to last.
A Mac is designed for a long, productive life. Apple designers and engineers spend countless hours ensuring that each Mac is precisely built — inside and out. From the down-to-the-micron fit of each internal component to the finish of the enclosure, every detail matters. Take MacBook Pro, for example. Its unibody enclosure is machined from a solid block of aluminum. The result is a MacBook Pro that is thin and light, looks polished and refined, and feels strong and durable.
Born to perform.
To make a better computer, only quality components and materials will do. That’s why every Mac contains a hard drive, memory, graphics processor, even a power supply specifically chosen to give you the best performance possible. And materials like aluminum and glass (in iMac and MacBook Pro) or rugged polycarbonate (in MacBook) keep all those high-performance components safe and sound.
Charge today and five years from today.
Getting a few hours of battery life from a notebook is good. But for a Mac, good isn’t good enough. On a single charge, you can get up to 8-9 hours on the 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro, and up to 10 hours on the MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro.1 That means you can power through a day of work or a day of classes without stopping to find the nearest outlet. And the battery inside MacBook and MacBook Pro can be recharged up to 1000 times — good for about five years of typical usage — and lasts nearly three times the lifespan of typical notebook batteries.
Get great performance from every Mac.
Every Mac comes with the latest technology. From the small-but-mighty Mac mini to the powerhouse Mac Pro, all are equipped with blazing-fast Intel processors, high-performance graphics, and high-speed DDR3 memory. And Mac OS X Snow Leopard is custom-made to take advantage of every bit of that technology. So no matter which Mac you choose, you get superior performance for just about everything you do: managing your photos, editing video, even playing graphics-intensive 3D games.
Connect fast. Connect easy.
With a Mac, you can connect to the Internet fast, thanks to 802.11n Wi-Fi.4 Like everything else about a Mac, joining Wi-Fi networks couldn’t be simpler. If you’ve previously connected to a network, your Mac automatically logs you in so you can send email, surf the web, or video chat. Have a phone, headset, keyboard, or mouse with Bluetooth wireless technology? They all connect to your Mac using its built-in Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR technology.
It features
the latest technology.
Fast Intel processors are standard on every Mac, so applications fly. Powerful graphics bring the latest 3D games to life. And 802.11n Wi-Fi gives you fast wireless connectivity.
Energy efficiency.
Because Apple designs both hardware and software, we can reduce our environmental footprint in ways others can’t. For starters, a highly efficient power supply reduces the amount of power wasted when bringing electricity from the wall to your Mac. Unlike a lot of PCs, a Mac uses energy-efficient hardware components that work hand in hand with the operating system to conserve power — even between keystrokes. The result: Every Mac meets the strict energy efficiency requirements set by the EPA’s ENERGY STAR program, and every Mac sold in the U.S. has earned the highest rating of EPEAT Gold.5
Fewer toxic substances.
Apple is always working to eliminate toxic substances in the Mac. And that’s by choice. We aren’t waiting for legislation to ban harmful substances like arsenic, brominated flame retardants (BFRs), mercury, phthalates, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). That’s why all Mac displays are mercury and arsenic free, and internal components are PVC and BFR free.
Recyclability.
When a Mac reaches the end of its long life, the materials it’s made from — like aluminum, glass, and polycarbonate — make it highly desirable to recyclers. And you can recycle your old computer free when you buy a new Mac.
It’s designed with the environment in mind.
Apple is committed to designing products that have the least possible environmental impact. That’s why every Mac is energy efficient, free of many harmful toxins, and highly recyclable.
