What laptop does ITS recommend? Here are a few options from Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Apple that we can recommend, however, please be aware that this list is by no means exhaustive, and many other brands and models with the specs listed above would likely work just as well.
Dell Inspiron 14 5000 Series (~$500+)
Lenovo ThinkPad E Series (~$600+)
Microsoft Surface Pro (~$749+)
Microsoft Surface Laptop (~$999~$769+)
Apple MacBook Air (~$999~$899+)
Warranty: we highly recommend at least a two-year warranty with complete care coverage (covering accidental damage such as broken LCD screens and spilled drinks). On-site warranty repair is most desirable to keep the time a student is without a laptop to a minimum. Students should bring a copy of the terms of the warranty to facilitate guidance from NCSSM ITS.
