Advancements in the Mac operating system, along with software and hardware compatibility, are changing the computing landscape. Small-business owners especially can opt to invest in the Mac infrastructure without leaving their Windows world behind.

Here's why we are convinced that Mac is better for your business:

Get a Mac and get it done faster

Mac's just flat out allow everyone to work faster and smarter. No longer are the days of hunting for a file or opening an application just to view your work. With QuickLook you can take a peek inside any document without launching an application. Type a few keywords into Spotlight and bam, there it is. Organize your favorite applications and files in the Dock. Just try it - your productivity will soar.

Security is built right in

Mac computers aren't inundated by viruses like PCs. They were designed with security at the focus so you don't have to worry about your business being interrupted. They are secure right out of the box, so there's no need to buy virus protection software which can slow you down with security alerts and sweeps. The Mac will automatically checks for updates, spot suspicious downloads and keeps you safe online. It's peace of mind that comes only with Mac ownership.

Travel back in time

Save yourself scramble-time with Mac's Time Machine.

Be anywhere at any time

Cold conference rooms with outdated projectors don't show-off your innovative side. You'll impress more and spend less with video conferencing using iSight. The video camera built right into your Mac. Just a few clicks and your images, documents, and presentations can be shared with co-workers and clients around the world. Mac makes video chat and video conferencing simple, easy and free. Now that's innovative.

Your Stuff Will Follow You

It's easy to keep your iPhone, home computer and business computer in perfect sync with MobileMe. Your mail, calendar, contacts, photos, and data files are automatically pushed to a MobileMe "cloud". This means, no matter where you are your cloud will follow you automatically synchronizing your iPhone and computers. Mac OS X's Sync Services uses a central "sync engine" that maintains the database, so all your devices, applications, and online services can be plugged into the service and share data.

Relax. Mac makes switching simple

Macs are loaded and out-of-the-box ready to work and run seamlessly in any environment. That's right, not only will it connect to your PC network, your Mac has most printer drivers already loaded. The same goes for digital cameras. All your favorite programs, like Word, PowerPoint and Excel, are made for Mac too, so there's no stressing about learning something new. So even if you're the lone Mac in a sea of PCs, you shouldn't have any compatibility issues. Best of all, you won't need a geek to help you get up and running.

It's a calculated decision

Think using PC's is the cheaper option? Great, but don't forget to add up all the software required to run it. Tack on the costly spyware and virus protection. Technical support - you'll need that too. And what about downtime? Now let's add up how much a Mac costs. Look at the whole package and you'll see the total cost of Mac ownership is more cost effective up front and in the long run. They require less technical support which translates to more productivity. Macs are ready to work right out of the box with additional software, memory and built-in applications. Macs are smarter, last longer, move faster, and make you more productive. Do the math on that.
