Apple Learning Labs
Designed specifically for schools, the Apple Learning Lab provides teachers and students with flexible, affordable and convenient access to technology.
The best mobile technology for schools
The comprehensive Apple Learning Lab includes a classroom set of lightweight and durable MacBook or MacBook Pro computers; wireless networking* for easy communication, research and collaboration; the iLife software suite of integrated digital media tools; and Apple Remote Desktop for classroom management. All of these powerful learning tools are safely contained in a sturdy mobile cart that also serves as a secure charging station.
Innovative mobile cart design
Built exclusively for Apple by Bretford, the mobile carts feature a streamlined design that makes them easy to use and move around campus and school. An improved power management system with power outlets at the front of the cart (Only on 20 and 32 unit models) enables safe and easy removal, replacement and charging of up to 32 13-inch or 15-inch Mac notebooks. The individual dividers that store and secure each computer can be reconfigured easily, so teachers can customise the mobile cart to their classroom needs. The carts are completely assembled, so setup is quick and simple.
