Pro tips on choosing a device
- The Lenovo Tablet PC model is only an option for employees.
- Students: When selecting a laptop model, please consult the laptop recommendations by college and major. These are strong recommendations, but not requirements. Typically, the recommendation is based on a specific course that requires students to use an application that only runs on Windows (e.g., Microsoft Project, MiniTab). WSU does support VMware Fusion, a tool that allows MacBook users to run Windows-only applications. This requires additional setup and the performance of the application is usually degraded.
