ACSS has received many inquiries about the need for incoming freshmen to purchase computers. It is our recommendation that you do purchase a computer when you first come to KU. The specifications for this computer can be very general in that the system only needs the ability to do simple word processing tasks. Incoming freshmen should only purchase "entry-level" machines with MS Office Professional - Academic Version. This is due to the high turn-over rate of technology. Anything you buy today will be outdated by the time you are in your third year. Thus it only makes sense to buy a lower-end machine in the beginning and a higher-end machine toward the end. A good example of entry-level machines can be found at: www.dell.com/tv These systems are relatively fast and are a great start to computing at KU. Make sure you order one with a network card and/or a modem if you plan to connect the system to the internet at KU. You can use either a network card or modem at the dorms. If you are bringing the system up to Marvin Hall for studio then you need a network card for internet connectivity. Feel free to contact us via e-mail for any further questions. |
