A laptop computer will be an important tool for your work at Georgia Tech.  Many students ask about what type of computer to purchase.  Although we do not recommend one particular manufacturer, EAS does not support Apple computers in configuration, or in software troubleshooting.  Our new virtual computer lab will allow most operating systems capable of RDP to access it, but you will receive increased functionality by using a MS Windows based machine.

Please see the Student Computer Ownership page here at Georgia Tech for hardware and software recommendations:  http://sco.gatech.edu/.  It is strongly recommended that you also purchase a security lock/cable for your laptop computer. 

Thanks,

Mark Keever, IT Manager - EAS
