The M1 chip: Faster processor than Windows has to offer
In November 2020, Apple introduced its own silicon-based processor called M1. The M1 powers the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini and the all-new iMac. Apple says the “M1 changes everything” and that’s why companies should pick it over Windows.
Battery life matters, says Apple
If you want Zoom calls to last longer and without plugging a charger, the MacBook Air or even the MacBook Pro is the way to go. As per Apple, company employees’ Zoom calls last two times longer on a single charge on the Air.
Mac laptops are ‘faster’ than Windows
Thanks to the M1 chip, Apple says “When compared with the latest model of the best-selling PC notebook purchased by businesses in its price range, MacBook Air with Apple M1 chip offers twice faster Excel performance and browser graphics performance.”
The IT departments have it ‘easy’ with Apple devices
“Whether your organisation has ten devices or ten thousand, Apple fits easily into your existing infrastructure,” claims Apple. With benefits like zero-touch deployment allows IT to configure and manage remotely, and IT can tailor the setup process to any team, says Apple.
Even if you don’t have IT support, Mac is the way to go
Simple setup and Apple’s Migration Assistant help organisations get Mac up and running quickly, claims Apple.
Mac is cheaper in the long run for companies, claims Apple
Apple claims compared with a PC, a single Mac could save you $843 over three years. How? Because of fewer support tickets, less software needed, and higher residual value, the savings add up, claims Apple.
Most ‘innovative’ companies choose Mac, says Apple
Companies that choose Mac over PC, as per Apple, include the likes of Salesforce, SAP for most of their employees.
Security matters and Mac is better, claims Apple
“Mac is the most secure personal computer on the planet, thanks to built-in features like hardware-verified secure boot, on-the-fly encryption, Touch ID, and Gatekeeper,” reasons Apple.
Business apps are ‘better’ on the Mac: Apple
Support for Google, Microsoft apps is seamless on the Mac, says Apple.
If you are in the Apple ecosystem, Mac is much better
Apple says that if company employees use iPhones then cross-device support is much better. Calls can be picked up anywhere, sharing of files is seamless among other things, says Apple.
Mac is a “pleasure” to work on, says Apple
“When you give people the power to work the way they want, with the tools they love, they are inspired to do the best work of their lives. Apple makes it easy to give employees the power to choose their own devices, while simplifying IT management and maintaining corporate standards,” Apple claims.
