If you are buying a new computer, it’s important to choose a solution that will support your needs over the next 3-4 years. While we can support all computer systems, we strongly encourage the purchase of new Apple and Lenovo notebook systems. If you work with graphics, video or other demanding applications you may want to increase the RAM and hard drive size, as well as upgrade the graphics card.

Accidents happen!  We strongly recommend purchasing Accidental Damage Protection with your new computer for the entire duration of your time at Washington College.
