Computers and computing are central to the Rose-Hulman experience. Since 1995 all entering students have been required to purchase a laptop computer. The Lenovo ThinkPad W510 was selected for the 2010-2011 school year. The computer comes with 4 GB of memory, a 160 GB hard disk (7200 rpm), the nVIDIA FX 880M graphics card with 1GB memory, a 15.6-inch FHD display with 1920×1080 resolution and Multi Touch, and a professional software package that includes Microsoft Office Professional 2010 and Maple 13 (Computer Algebra System).
