Why choose Apple?


Built on the world's most advanced operating system, the Mac is as easy to use as it is powerful. And, no matter what your area of specialty is, it's great because you get:

  • A smart design that is durable for any lifestyle, and friendly to the environment.
  • MacOS comes with the security and reliability of built-in defenses against PC viruses.
  • Compatibility with Microsoft Office programs and the ability to run Windows too.
  • Fun with photos, music, movies and more with pre-loaded iLife software.

Apple Store for Education Institution Configure Quote Instructions:

  • Shop and configure items and add them to your cart;
  • When finished, select Cart in the upper right corner;
  • Select AppleCare for desired products and click Update to save changes;
  • Click Create Saved Cart and enter your information. To submit your cart to TechCyte, add techcyteorder@iastate.edu in the Send Copy To field.
    If your department is a IT CorePlus supported department, add eqsupp@iastate.edu to send a copy of the quote to IT Equipment Support.
