Transform your lessons with the rental of Mac Computers from Utility Rentals

Although the iPad is fast becoming a great learning resource for schools, it is unlikely that the need for laptops and desktop computers will diminish any time soon. Luckily, with Mac computers, schools have the ability to take advantage of some of the iPads best features, combined with all of the amazing aspects a Mac laptop or desktop computer has to offer and to top it off – they’re perfect for education.

With Mac, both teachers and students can be more creative and productive than ever before. Apple’s operating system – OS X El Captain – is their most advanced to date and has been designed alongside the Mac hardware to ensure they work together effortlessly. If you’re worried it won’t be compatible with your existing Windows devices – think again! Each Mac is provided with Keynotes, Pages and Numbers, meaning you can still work on Microsoft Office documents from Word, Excel and PowerPoint. But as you’d expect, it also offers many built-in tools that are perfect for use in the classroom. Spotlight searches both the internet and your Mac hard drive simultaneously, meaning it’s quick and easy to find the information you’re looking for. Whilst Pinned Sites in Safari ensure your favourite websites are not only kept open, but also up to date, ready for when you next need them. Plus, with Split View, you can see two apps in full screen at the same time, without the need to fiddle about resizing windows. In addition to this, iMovie is perfect for media students, as you can simply edit video footage, even adding music, titles and special effects, where required.

But that’s not all, as the Mac App Store is built-in, schools have instant access to thousands of apps that have been designed specifically for the education sector. Whilst with iBook Author, you can easily create interactive learning experiences for students that perfectly suit your curriculum. With iBook Author both students and teachers can design multi-touch books, projects and lab notebooks that can be accessed via an iPad or Mac. Easily add photos and images with captions and insert video or music by simply dragging and dropping them – it couldn’t be easier!

All of this isn’t just available from a desktop computer. If your school would benefit more from a portable device, but need something more powerful than an iPad, then the MacBook Air is perfect. It features fifth-generation dual-core Intel processors, as well as an Intel HD graphics 6000 chip, so it’s ideal for use within media lessons. You won’t have to worry about charging it during the day either, as it boasts a 12 hour battery life. Amazingly, you’ll get all this in a strong but incredibly slim aluminium body that’s just 1.7cm thick!

Here at Utility Rentals we understand how important it is for both teachers and students to have access to such exciting equipment. Therefore, we want to ensure they are accessible to all schools, not just those with a plentiful budget. That’s why we are now able to offer Mac computers through our flexible and affordable rental contracts. Instead of needing to use their capital budget, schools, colleges and universities alike can acquire the Mac equipment they need using just their revenue budget. Payments are made annually across a 3 year minimum rental term and as the payments remain fixed for the duration of the rental, schools are not only protected against inflation, but they can also plan their budgets accordingly. What’s more, we’ll also include a full parts and labour breakdown warranty throughout the rental, to protect your school against any repair costs you may not have budgeted for.
