Why a notebook instead of a desktop?
The Dell Student Notebook Program will take advantage of the power of mobile computing, which allows students to have “anywhere/anytime” access to their files, their software, and the Internet. Many universities, including Harvard, Wake Forest, and UNC – Chapel Hill, have made a similar decision to require students to own notebooks rather than desktop computers. Students find current notebook models have more than enough processing power and storage, the productivity and entertainment software they need, and that built-in wireless connections are convenient and reliable. Wireless networking has become a mainstream application and its expansion across campuses has greatly increased the value and flexibility of student-owned notebook computers.
