 Laptops at Gordon
Because of how quickly technology changes, we recommend not purchasing new computers until after June first to ensure you get the latest model/best pricing. Although Gordon College does not require students to have computers, we do recommend that students come to campus with a laptop. Laptops enable anytime, anywhere learning. Gordon has complete wireless coverage in all the residence halls and over 150 wireless hotspots available in and around the academic buildings, allowing you to connect to the Internet from various locations. Bring your laptop to class, access your Blackboard class sites, use your free Microsoft Office 365 Subscription (see below for details) to prepare presentations and assignments, and bring your computer home over break to keep up with friends and get a head start on next semester's classes. When you want help with your laptop, it's easy to bring it to the Center for Technology Services Helpdesk in Jenks Library for support.Most manufacturers allow an academic discount for college students; often, you only need to have a valid email address from a college to qualify. See these links for some discounted prices:
Should I purchase an Apple or Windows Computer?
At Gordon College, we support both the Windows and Macintosh operating systems. It is up to you to choose which one you wish to bring to Gordon.Some things to consider when picking which type of computer to bring:
  • The platform (Windows/Mac) you are more comfortable using
  • Ask a professor in your major for recommendations
  • Support and warranty options available to you

While here at Gordon, you can get support for both Windows and Macintosh computers. However, you should consider the support options available when you are home on break or if you travel with the computer. Depending on your situation, you may get better support for one platform than for another.
