REASONS TO CHOOSE MAC:
1. Work more, labor less.
Working on a Mac is intuitive, easy — and makes getting things done a lot more fun. Our operating system, Leopard, is simple and quick to master. In no time, you’ll find you and your colleagues are working more happily and efficiently than ever before.

2. Unleash your creativity. Finally.
Don’t let the designers have all the fun. Discover your creative side with iLife and iWork. In just a few swift clicks, you’ll be creating your own business cards and brochures, designing web sites, and showing off polished presentations. It’s easy to impress your clients and colleagues with stuff you’ll learn at the Apple store’s free design workshops. We’ll show you step-by-step how to create pieces to market your business and reach clients.

3. The extras don't cost any extra.
Macs are streamlined and simple — yet right out of the box, they do more than you might expect. With iChat, you can videoconference with colleagues from across the hall or across the planet — without ever picking up a phone or paying a long-distance bill. And consider lost files a thing of the past. Time Machine is a set-it-and-forget-it backup system that can rewind your computer to the moment right before you hit the delete button. Your Mac can keep your data, and your peace of mind, safe and sound.

4. Mac be nimble, Mac be quick.
Anything you need to do for your business, you can do on a Mac. Really. Any application, anytime. Not only is a Mac compatible with Microsoft Office, it’s the only computer that can run Windows and Mac programs side by side.*

5. Macs play well with others.
Mac user in a PC world? Don’t worry. Most popular applications for Mac and PC use the same file formats—making it easy to exchange documents with friends and coworkers—or move existing files from a PC to a Mac. Your peripherals can get in on the fun, too. Just connect your printer, camera, or Bluetooth device and you’re ready to roll.

6. Good help is easy to find.
With an intuitive system, it isn’t often that you’ll be looking for assistance. But if the time comes, help is always close by. Visit an Apple store to chat with a business consultant, sign-up for free workshops, get One to One training, sign up for ProCare, or ask questions at the Genius Bar. And remember to look at Apple Store calendars to find out what’s happening each week for business customers at your Apple Store. You can also extend your computer’s 90 days of complimentary support with an award winning AppleCare Protection Plan to get additional help or questions answered. Call, click or come by. Or call 1-800-854-3680 for a business consultant. We're happy to help.

7. Pick up the pace, Mac style.
Macs come with two secret weapons for speed and security. Intel dual- and quad-core processors make Macs run fast, and a UNIX foundation offers rock-solid security. Run as many applications as you’d like—and forget about the inevitable slowdown that happens with viruses. Macs are famous for having a clean bill of health.

8. Swear by your computer, not at it.
Mac software is built to seamlessly work with Mac hardware. This means a Mac is less susceptible to the conflicts and crashes so common with a PC. But a Mac would never be content to just work beautifully. It also looks gorgeous— and comes wrapped in a slim, sexy package that looks great at work and at home.

9. Bottom line: a better bottom line.
When making a feature-to-feature comparison, it’s clear that Macs are priced comparably to PCs. Customers tell us that Macs last longer, require less tech support and, in the long run, end up costing less than PCs. And when you consider licensing fees on server technology, Mac servers are downright inexpensive.

10. The time is undoubtedly right.
If you’ve been considering a Mac, there couldn’t be a better time. With Leopard, the newest version of our award-winning OS X operating system, we’ve outdone ourselves, with more than 300+ innovations that take design, organization, backup and simplicity further than ever before. Prepare to get more done, and have more fun with a Mac.
