Macs for business
Buying Macs for work, without the guesswork.
Which Mac suits which job, what to decide before you order, how Macs fit a Microsoft workplace, and how SCCS trade pricing works for organisations that buy regularly.

Before you order
Four choices you cannot change later.
A Mac is configured once. Get these right at quote time and the fleet lasts its full life.
- 01
Memory
On Apple silicon Macs the memory sits in the chip package and is set when the Mac is built. It cannot be added later, so size it for the third year of use, not the first week.
- 02
Storage
Internal storage is chosen when the Mac is built, and Apple does not upgrade it afterwards. If files live in OneDrive or SharePoint, a smaller drive is often enough; local video, code and virtual machines need more.
- 03
Keyboard layout
Some configurations in the catalogue list an English (US) keyboard. Check the listing before you order a fleet, or ask us to confirm the layout.
- 04
Management from day one
Decide before the first Mac arrives how it will be enrolled and managed, so it joins sign-in, Wi-Fi, printing and security policy without a visit to each desk.
Macs in a Microsoft workplace
Your people want Macs. Your systems run on Microsoft.
Both can be true. The work is in the planning: which policies apply, which apps install, which printers appear, and who looks after the first week.
- Microsoft 365 apps, Teams and OneDrive run on Mac.
- Macs can be enrolled and managed alongside Windows devices, so policy and apps come from one place.
- Printing, file shares and Wi-Fi are where mixed fleets usually trip up, and where the planning pays off.

Questions we hear
Buying Macs for business: questions
Is SCCS an Apple partner?
We supply Apple through Australia's major IT distributors and set Macs up to work alongside Microsoft accounts, printing and security. We do not claim an Apple partner tier.
Can I add memory or storage to a Mac later?
No. On Apple silicon Macs, memory and internal storage are chosen when the Mac is built, and Apple does not upgrade them afterwards. That is why we size them with you before the order goes in.
Mac mini or iMac for an office desk?
If the desk already has a good screen, keyboard and mouse, a Mac mini reuses them. If you are fitting out a new desk or a shared space, an iMac puts screen, camera and speakers in one unit.
Will Macs work with our Microsoft 365 environment?
Yes. Microsoft 365 apps run on Mac, and Macs can be managed alongside Windows devices. Our guide, Mac in a Microsoft World, sets out what changes, what stays the same and the mistakes to avoid in year one.
How does trade pricing work?
Apply once with your organisation's details. A real person reviews the application, usually within one business day, and sets up your rates. You then see your SCCS price across the full catalogue, Macs included.
Do you offer education pricing?
Yes, education pricing is available for schools. Planning a school device program? The School iPad and Mac Program Planner covers the five decisions to make first.
