Laptop Requirement and Minimum Specifications
All WCOB undergraduate students are expected to have a laptop that meets or exceeds the university's specified minimum specifications.
- PC laptops are strongly recommended, but tablets may be acceptable if they meet the minimum specifications.
- Apple computers are not recommended for business students. However, if you have an Apple computer, it needs to be able to run Windows OS for specific business software.
- Chromebooks are not acceptable because specific business software cannot be installed or run.
Students are encouraged to purchase a Dell laptop from App State's University Campus Store. These computers are discounted with academic pricing and come with a warranty. Students can access the university's Technology Support Center for assistance with hardware, software, and network issues.
