If you’re still wondering why Mac should be your first choice, here are 7 reasons why Mac is the perfect study buddy.
- It won’t break the bank
Cheap is expensive, so they say, but you also need to be financially smart by making sure you spend cost effectively. This means getting a quality, modern and effective laptop at a price you can afford.
MacBook Air is designed to be efficient and affordable. With preferential rates for varsity students and educators – there is no better time to make this education investment.
- It’s supercharged with the powerful Apple M1 chip
There is nothing worse than working on a slow laptop. It can make you crazy …we get it ! Apple has ensured that the MacBook Air M1 is over three times faster than the Intel-powered models, with up to five times faster graphics performance. In the real world, this means it’ll boot up faster, projects will load quicker and games will play better. That means waiting less and doing more. Perfect for your fast paced student life.
- It’s your iPhone’s best friend
Did you know there are other uses for Airdrop besides sending memes to your classmates? With a Mac, you can use your iPhone’s camera to scan notes and assignments, and then Airdrop them straight to your Mac. This will definitely make research and assignments quicker and easier.
Do you have Apple Music on your iPhone? It’s also built right into the Mac. Pairing your iPhone with your Mac gives you quick access to your photos, messages and reminders. You can also share Safari tabs, sync your Apple News feed and even copy and paste between devices.
- You can take it anywhere
There are some laptops that might as well be folding PCs. They’re huge, bulky, and are the last thing you want to lug around campus.
While all of Apple’s laptops are pretty light, the MacBook Air wins this competition, hands down. At only 1.27 kg, it’ll never slow you down when you’re on the go. Whether you’re headed to your morning lecture, the library or your favourite coffee shop, you’ll likely want to bring your Mac along.
- Great battery longevity – 22 hours!
The most powerful laptop in the world won’t do you any good if it’s out of juice. There’s nothing worse than a laptop that’s always dying on you. MacBook Air will get you up to 22 hours of battery life on a single charge, 15 hours of web browsing, and up to a whopping 18 hours of video playback.
That’s more than enough for your next all-night cram session or Netflix binge. Not to mention, you are sorted during load shedding.
- It runs macOS
Macs are beloved by artists, musicians and students, and it’s more than just because they’re pretty. If you’re a creative, you’ll want a Mac.
If you are a musician, you will love GarageBand. If your dream is to go to film school, starting out with iMovie is great practice. What is even better – iMovie and GarageBand come free with Mac.
- Faster CPU
It goes without saying that the CPU determines the speed at which a laptop retrieves and interprets instructions. MacBook Air is developed with up to 3.5x faster CPU with up to 5x faster graphics performance. If you are a user of Microsoft Office, Google and Dropbox, you will be amazed at how great they function on Mac.
Don’t stress if you need to switch from PC.
MacBook Air offers you a Migration Assistant. This allows you to transition from your PC with ease by transferring settings, user accounts and other important data and files.
