Apple

Make the ultimate upgrade. To a Mac.
Why get a new PC and just upgrade your computer, when you can get a Mac and upgrade your entire computer experience?

A Mac is as good as it looks.
It’s made from strong, beautiful materials like aluminum and glass. It comes with the latest technology — powerful processors, advanced graphics, and fast memory. And it has features you won’t find on a PC. So from the outside in, a Mac is designed to be a better computer.

It’s designed to be a better computer.
When you buy a computer, you want it to last. And a Mac will. That’s because a Mac is designed and built to be as reliable as it is beautiful.

Designed to last.
A Mac is designed for a long, productive life. Apple designers and engineers spend countless hours ensuring that each Mac is precisely built — inside and out. From the down-to-the-micron fit of each internal component to the finish of the enclosure, every detail matters. Take MacBook Pro, for example. Its unibody enclosure is machined from a solid block of aluminum. The result is a MacBook Pro that is thin and light, looks polished and refined, and feels strong and durable.

Born to perform.
To make a better computer, only quality components and materials will do. That’s why every Mac contains a hard drive, memory, graphics processor, even a power supply specifically chosen to give you the best performance possible. And materials like aluminum and glass (in iMac and MacBook Pro) or rugged polycarbonate (in MacBook) keep all those high-performance components safe and sound.

Charge today and five years from today.
Getting a few hours of battery life from a notebook is good. But for a Mac, good isn’t good enough. On a single charge, you can get up to 7 hours on the MacBook and every MacBook Pro model.1 That means you can power through a day of work or a day of classes without stopping to find the nearest outlet. And the battery inside MacBook and MacBook Pro can be recharged up to 1000 times — good for about five years of typical usage — and lasts nearly three times the lifespan of typical notebook batteries.

It’s packed with innovative features.
A Multi-Touch trackpad, a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse, and a built-in camera — just to name a few. On a Mac, innovation extends to features you might not expect.

Multi-Touch trackpad.
The Multi-Touch trackpad on every Mac notebook lets you use one or more fingers to interact with your documents, images, and applications. Use two fingers to move smoothly up and down a page with inertial scrolling. Pinch to zoom in and out. Rotate an image with your fingertips. Swipe with three fingers to flip through your photo libraries. Swipe with four fingers to show your desktop, view all open windows, or switch applications.

Wireless keyboard and wireless Magic Mouse.
The new iMac comes with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse — the world’s first Multi-Touch mouse — for a beautifully clutter-free workspace.

Built-in FaceTime camera and mic.
Cleverly hidden behind the glass display of every iMac, MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro is a built-in FaceTime camera and mic. Using the FaceTime for Mac app, you can make FaceTime calls to other Intel-based Mac computers, iPad 2, iPhone 4, or the latest iPod touch.3 So you can stay in touch with friends and family no matter where they are.

MagSafe power connector.
Accidents happen. That’s why MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air feature a MagSafe power connector that breaks cleanly away from the notebook if you trip over the power cord.

Ambient light sensor.
To conserve power and relieve eyestrain, a built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the screen brightness on MacBook, MacBook Pro and iMac to suit the ambient light of whatever room you’re in. And it activates the backlit keyboard on MacBook Pro so you can type with ease in low-light conditions.

It features the latest technology.
Fast Intel processors are standard on every Mac, so applications fly. Powerful graphics bring the latest 3D games to life. Ultrafast Thunderbolt connects you to a world of high-speed peripherals. And 802.11n Wi-Fi gives you fast wireless connectivity.

Get great performance from every Mac.
Every Mac comes with the latest technology. From the small-but-mighty Mac mini to the powerhouse Mac Pro, all are equipped with blazing-fast Intel processors, high-performance graphics, and high-speed DDR3 memory. And Mac OS X Snow Leopard is custom-made to take advantage of every bit of that technology. So no matter which Mac you choose, you get superior performance for just about everything you do: managing your photos, editing video, even playing graphics-intensive 3D games.

Thunderbolt. A Revolutionary I/O.
Ultrafast and ultraflexible, the Thunderbolt port features two 10-Gbps data channels for data transfer that’s up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0. Part of the new MacBook Pro and the new iMac, Thunderbolt offers unprecedented expansion capabilities for a new generation of high-performance peripherals.

Connect fast. Connect easy.
With a Mac, you can connect to the Internet fast, thanks to 802.11n Wi-Fi.4 Like everything else about a Mac, joining Wi-Fi networks couldn’t be simpler. If you’ve previously connected to a network, your Mac automatically logs you in so you can send email, surf the web, or video chat. Have a phone, headset, keyboard, or mouse with Bluetooth wireless technology? They all connect to your Mac using its built-in Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR technology.

It’s designed with the environment in mind.
Apple is committed to designing products that have the least possible environmental impact. That’s why every Mac is energy efficient, free of many harmful toxins, and highly recyclable.

Energy efficiency.
Because Apple designs both hardware and software, we can reduce our environmental footprint in ways others can’t. For starters, a highly efficient power supply reduces the amount of power wasted when bringing electricity from the wall to your Mac. Unlike a lot of PCs, a Mac uses energy-efficient hardware components that work hand in hand with the operating system to conserve power — even between keystrokes. The result: Every Mac meets the strict energy efficiency requirements set by the EPA’s ENERGY STAR program, and every Mac sold in the U.S. has earned the highest rating of EPEAT Gold.

Fewer toxic substances.
Apple is always working to eliminate toxic substances in the Mac. And that’s by choice. We aren’t waiting for legislation to ban harmful substances like arsenic, brominated flame retardants (BFRs), mercury, phthalates, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). That’s why all Mac displays are mercury and arsenic free, and internal components are PVC and BFR free.

Recyclability.
When a Mac reaches the end of its long life, the materials it’s made from — like aluminum, glass, and polycarbonate — make it highly desirable to recyclers. And you can recycle your old computer free when you buy a new Mac.

HP

Where work is moving.
At HP, we see a world where personal and business content and services live in the cloud. From contacts and calendars to CRM and project management, it's a world where productivity is defined by how connected you are. That's why there's HP TouchPad with HP webOS. Lightweight, powerful and incredibly intuitive, it keeps you productive anywhere. And connected in the office and at local hotspots.

Works like nothing else, yet feels totally familiar.

With HP webOS, TouchPad works like you do, so you get more done. Whether it's a business app available from the HP App Catalog or one that your company builds from the ground up, TouchPad is perfect for the new world of productivity.

Everything works better on TouchPad.
TouchPad is great for delivering impromptu presentations, making video calls, jumping back and forth between open emails and notifications5, and collaborating with colleagues. It's more personal than a notebook PC, and more powerful than a smartphone. And thanks to webOS, TouchPad feels natural and intuitive, so it's easy to use. Not to mention giving you a platform to help keep you connected to cloud content and services.

Equipped with business essentials.
With integrated email, contacts, and calendars, TouchPad gives you essential productivity apps right out of the box. Because they're webOS apps, they sync with multiple online accounts and automatically keep information up to date. When a contact's information on LinkedIn changes, for example, it's reflected in your Contacts app.

Apps that mean business.
In addition to an ever-expanding portfolio of apps, HP webOS gives you a powerful web-based platform for developing and deploying custom ones—or porting existing apps. It's built on standards like CSS, HTML5, and JavaScript, so you can reduce development time and get down to business faster.

What's more, webOS apps can take advantage of HP Synergy, enabling apps to work together and do more for you in fewer steps. Reply to a meeting reminder without having to open email first. Or add a new event to your calendar with a tap.

Ready today. Ready for tomorrow.

TouchPad is designed to work with today's standard enterprise technologies such as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, while providing business-class security and over-the-air management. At the same time, TouchPad is ready for the next generation of cloud services.

Integrate easily.
The HP webOS platform supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and protocols like SMTP/POP3 and IMAP4, so it integrates with existing email systems without the need for additional software or hardware. Set up email, contacts, and calendars one time and they’re automatically kept up to date.

In addition, enterprise-ready Wi-Fi3 and VPN help you have access to data and services behind your company's firewall. You can also access your company's Global Address List to search for a contact's phone number or corporate email address.

Protect remotely.
With powerful security policies, administrators can prevent unauthorized use of any TouchPad. Start by requiring alphanumeric passwords of a specific complexity or length. Set the number of failed password attempts-after which data is erased. And remotely wipe lost or stolen devices.

Connect securely.
HP webOS helps protect data while allowing authorized users to access information they need. With Cisco AnyConnect and IPsec VPN support, you can access files behind your company's firewall. Enjoy safer browsing and more secure Exchange email access with 128-bit encryption and SSL. And help ensure data security over Wi-Fi network connections3 with support for WEP/WPA/WPA2 and authentication protocols.

Manage wirelessly.
TouchPad stays current with over-the-air software updates, making management easier for IT. All webOS devices can be backed up automatically and you can remotely erase a TouchPad if it's ever lost or stolen. Restoring data on a new device is fast and simple-and done completely over the air.

HP is collaborating with third-party partners for new ways to distribute apps, ensure compliance and configure devices, so managing TouchPad is as hassle-free as can be.

Productivity apps are just the beginning.

TouchPad includes essential productivity apps like Calendar, Contacts, Email, and Quickoffice® HD, but that's just the start.1 HP webOS is built on the web, so it supports modern technologies that make it easy to develop and deploy custom apps. And there are already apps available for many business needs.

Develop apps like you develop for the web.
Built on standards like CSS, HTML5, and JavaScript, webOS is the ideal platform to develop your organization's custom apps. You can draw on an existing pool of developers and even port existing apps. Whether it's inventory tracking, workflow management or anything in between, you can reduce time, cost, and complexity.

HP is committed to supporting the development community with a full range of tools, services, and help. From the Software Development Kit to Ares, the first browser-based development platform, we make it fast and easy to turn a vision into reality.

Apps for your business need.
With TouchPad, you can run apps that address a broad range of business activities. Keep tabs on financial markets with Market Pulse. Manage enterprise mobile devices with Citrix Receiver. Share demos and deliver presentations from the cloud with MightyMeeting. Just a glimpse of the things you can do with business apps built for webOS.
