If you have a neat desk Scanner and have it registered you get the software you need to run it from the Neat web site.

As a newer model, it has some improvement to paper handling (adjustable paper guides for example). When plugged in to a PC it functions pretty much the same as the Neatdesk. However it shines when scanning to email, Google Drive etc. No need to save locally then email or upload. To use wirelessly with Neat's analysis software, you must first send up to Neat's cloud service and then sync down locally. I like this approach as it doesn't tie up my pc at all as the processing occurs in the cloud. Neatconnect makes a great work group device as you can have up to 20 user accounts of each type (email, dropbox etc) set up.

That's a rather subjective question. iWork can be purchased through the app store, thus providing your student with essential word-processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software that is compatible with office products. Your student would also be less inclined to acquire malware than with a windows-based machine. If your student is an art, music, or drafting student, inexpensive software can also be acquired through the app store for these purposes. I would recommend Paragon NTFS for mac though, since Apple does not have any native NTFS translation software. I hope this is helpful... OK, here's a translation of what I said (lol, sorry!): it depends on what your student needs the laptop for. Programs can be installed on a Mac that would give it compatibility with the kind of programs used in a high school environment. Given that most schools are on a Windows paradigm, a Windows machine might be better. If you just prefer Mac (as do I), and you have the know-how to do so, your student's Mac can be made to be sufficiently compatible with 99% of the Windows-based software available. It can be set up to meet the needs of a new high school student fairly easily, but you must first ensure you know what those needs are before you can address them. If you decide to get a Mac, let me know on this forum and I can explain in detail how to set up your student's computer.

I called Neat Receipts asking about the same thing. Short answer No. But they claim to be working on an Apple OS version - due out in the next 12 months. Don't hold your breathe - they told me the same thing last year. You can send an email to sales@neatreceipts.com and ask to be put on the notification list. I guess if enough people request it they'll actually put one out. I certainly hope so.

It is included with a trial version. Cheaper to uninstall the trial version and buy Office separately.

Never done it. I expect you can download it from microsoft. Otherwise you'll have to goto a apple store and have them help you.

Yes. I have a that macbook too. I have purchases turbo tax twice. It keeps a file on the computer for the next years taxes making updating previous years tax information unnecessary.

Sorry but I do not know that answer. You can probably contact Neat receipts and ask if they have a compatible version.

Discount Mac Depot does include Microsoft Office pre installed on the Mac. Thanks

Yes. Just be certain to purchase the "Mac" and not the PC software bundle. That's the only hitch we've run into. Hope that helps.

It does not come installed from Apple. However, our listing (Low Price) does currently have Office installed.

If you buy a new computer directly from amazon or any seller, you can buy Applecare for it. I bought mine from a secondary seller who wasn't an authorized dealer and all I needed was the amazon receipt as proof of purchase to register my Applecare.

No. You have to purchase Microsoft Office for Apple in order to use Excel and Word.

The simple answer is yes, Neat desk can scan photos. The scanner is fast and will work with other software such as Paperport. But the Neat software is tailored more for a financial mission and the scanner does not have a guide for all paper sizes.
