Although tablets (i.e., Netbooks, Chromebooks, and iPads) provide portability and functionality, they do not meet all of the computing needs of a student. If you choose to purchase one of these devices, it should be viewed as a supplemental device to one of the recommended computers.
NOTE: We recommend the purchase of an Ethernet adapter so you can take advantage of the University’s wired network in addition to wifi.
