To access education pricing, customers will verify eligibility with a secure and easy process from Unidays using an academic email or homeschool documentation
Mac
Great ideas start on Mac. MacBook’s are an essential tool for students and educators, built for productivity, creativity, and learning.

With M5, MacBook Air powers through a wide range of tasks, from everyday productivity to creative workloads, and is even faster for AI.

iPad
The iPad lineup provides an incredibly powerful and versatile learning tool for students and educators, combining portability with the full capabilities of iPadOS. With education savings, students benefit even further on their favorite iPad accessories, including Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard. With the windowing system in iPadOS 26, users can fluidly resize app windows, place them exactly where they want, and open even more windows at the same time. Students can access files and folders from anywhere with folders in the Dock. Simply drag a folder from the Files app into the Dock to add it. You can then add a file to a folder by simply dragging it into the folder in your Dock and a tap expands the folder to see all the files inside.
In addition, continuity features make it seamless to move between your iPad and other Apple devices. With Universal Control, students can use the keyboard, mouse, or trackpad of your Mac to control up to two other nearby Mac or iPad devices, and work seamlessly between them. And with Sidecar, students can use their iPad as a second display that extends or mirrors their Mac desktop. Check out additional note-taking + productivity apps including Goodnotes and Notability.
