Below is some information to assist with your computer purchase decision. The following points should be noted:
Note: In many cases, Chromebooks do not support the same applications as Windows and Mac laptops. As a result, we do not recommend the purchase of a Chromebook for students currently.
If you have any additional questions regarding a laptop purchase, please contact the Ramapo IT helpdesk at helpdesk@ramapo.edu.
