The incoming first year students (Class of 2013) were recommended by the Faculty Committee on Academic Technology to use an Apple Macintosh computer.  In the past, most students have purchased a MacBook or MacBook Pro portable system with wireless capability. These systems include a minimum of 2GB of RAM with a SuperDrive DVD-R/CD-RW. These systems also include ethernet, firewire and USB ports. Space is a premium in the residence halls so we do not recommend tower units with large monitors.

The current employee desktop minimum standard consists of an Ethernet ready Macintosh with a G3/G4 processor, 15" multiscan color monitor, 1GB of RAM, and a CD-ROM drive.
