Laptops Required for Freshmen

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the seems-like-a-good-idea-to-me dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Indiana State University will become the first public university in the state to require all students to have notebook computers, beginning with incoming freshmen in fall 2007. Guess which laptop is the preferred one..." I started bringing laptops to class around my Junior year. I'm unconvinced that they helped me with my grades.

    Screw Lenovo.

    From $1,999:

    • 15.4-inch TFT display with 1440x900 resolution
    • 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo with 2MB shared L2 Cache
    • 667MHz frontside bus
    • 512MB (single SO-DIMM) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    • 80GB 5400rpm Serial ATA hard drive
    • Slot-load SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW)
    • ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 128MB GDDR3 memory

    But best of all... It runs OS X, Linux and even that other O/S (at high speed) if you're desperate.
