Recommended Computers for Students

 

Starting in 6th grade, students are required to bring their own laptops to school.  Any brand of laptop is acceptable, as long as it contains a wireless ("wi-fi" or 802.11) network interface and Microsoft Office.

 

Many times families ask us to recommend a specific laptop for a student - this is what we currently advise:

 

  • Apple MacBook Air or MacBook Pro with 13-inch display
  • Microsoft Office for the Mac - Student Edition
  • A thin sleeve to keep the laptop from getting damaged (no straps)

 

These laptops are very lightweight and durable. They come with 2 GB of RAM (memory) which is plenty for student use, and with the latest version of the Mac operating system (OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard"). They also come with a built-in iSight camera and free software including iChat, iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie, and Safari (web browser).

 

There is an Apple store in South Park Mall and also an Apple store online; however, we recommend shopping online at sites like amazon.com or macmall.com - they often feature rebates and/or free shipping on these products.

 

Apple MacBook at amazon.com

Microsoft Office for Mac at amazon.com
