Apple claims the Mac and iPad are popular among students because of their longevity, portability, and reliability. They're used for app development, organic chemistry note-taking, video editing, and presentation design.

The company has shared some student stories about incorporating Apple products into their academic lives.

Brayden Gogis, a Taylor University junior majoring in mechanical engineering and biochemistry, praises the MacBook Air's portability and power. "My MacBook Air goes with me everywhere I go and excels at all the work I demand from it, whether running AutoCAD to design a new machine, taking notes for organic chemistry, or building my next app in Xcode -- MacBook Air unlocks completely new possibilities for me."

"I use iPad Air and Apple Pencil to take handwritten notes using Notability and to organize lecture materials for effective study sessions," Jung says.

She's excited about the new Apple Intelligence features, which will streamline her review process and help her craft professional emails.

Anuj Pachhel, a recent graduate of Government Medical College in Nagpur, India, found his MacBook Pro invaluable in managing medical school challenges. He praised its battery life and speed, which helped handle his academic workload.

He highlights DaVinci Resolve Studio, a video editing software that utilizes the MacBook Pro's fast Neural Engine, as one of his favorite tools.

    The reliability, speed, battery life, AI capabilities etc are awesome but let’s not forget the security and privacy that no other company comes even remotely close to matching.

    Just got an iPad air for my little brother using the education discount and used the $100 for the pencil pro and $80 two year protection. Now the next one he gets he should be able to work and get it himself 😂.
