Incoming students often wonder what type of computer will best serve them at university. If you are an incoming student purchasing a laptop, keep in mind that four years is a long time in technology terms. You are best off to buy the best mid-range new laptop you can find. For most students in the Faculty of Science, we recommend using a Windows laptop. We do not recommend solely using a phone, tablet or Chromebook. In consideration of students who have preexisting devices, we have provided recommended specifications for both Windows and Apple laptops below.
