If you can dream it, a Mac can help you do it. From speed to power, from security to value, the MacBook range, supercharged with the M1 and M2 chips, is a giant leap in computing.

1) A Mac can go the distance. Thanks to their highly advanced battery technologies, the new generation of Mac supercharged with M1 and M2 are the most tireless workhorses on the planet, they’re in it for the long haul. Available from iStore, MacBook Air M1 (R16 999) is capable of lasting for up to 15 hours and MacBook Pro M2 (R26 999) lasts up to 22 hours of hard work on a single charge. That’s enough to cover the flying time from Johannesburg to Atlanta, USA, with plenty of power to spare at the airport before you board.

2) A Mac can work hand-in-hand with your other Apple devices. Using a unique built-in feature called Continuity, a Mac can communicate seamlessly with your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Start a note, email, or Freeform sketch on your iPhone, and continue on your Mac without missing a beat. You can auto-unlock your Mac while wearing your Apple Watch, and instantly share or present content from your iPhone to your Mac, using AirPlay. Copy content on one device, and paste onto another. It makes life on the move easier than ever.

3) A Mac can easily tackle more than one task at a time. Apple’s revolutionary new System on a Chip (SoC) processor uses a unified memory system that takes multitasking to a whole new level. You can fill your screen with two apps, side by side, or you can open multiple applications and shift between them, in centre-stage and thumbnail form, using Stage Manager on macOS Ventura.

4) A Mac can take you way, way back in time. Every Mac comes with a peace-of-mind backup feature called Time Machine, which quietly and unobtrusively saves your precious data on an hourly, daily, and weekly basis. Just connect an external drive to your Mac, and Time Machine will get to work, allowing you to track and trace any file you need in the near or distant past. It’s a set-it-and-forget system that will save you stress and panic too.

5) A Mac can play as hard as it works. There are good reasons why Macs are the preferred tools of creative thinkers and doers in a wide variety of fields, and two of those reasons come bundled with every machine. iMovie for Mac allows you to make Hollywood-style movies at a stunning 4K resolution, while GarageBand, with its extensive library of instruments and loops, can turn you into a musical superstar of note.

More proof that if you can dream it, a Mac can help you do it!
