[Jamin2906]

Hey everyone, im not sure if this will work but anyways:
What laptops are students using at Jmss, i tried looking at some pics but i couldnt tell what they were
I know the students there are using ipads for sure, but which laptops? I am applying this year and would just like to know
(HOPE THIS WORKS :p)

It might not still be the case, but when I was there we had Lenovo Thinkpads. (They didn't cost anything and we gave them back at the end of year 12)

Nice! do you know which kind/series, my school has the new yoga ones, but my sister has this older one called the X230. There are lots of thinkpad laptops out there...

x220. But like I said, it's probably changed since 2012. Don't put the cart before the horse! Get into the school before you worry about booklist items.

We're using Lenovo Thinkpad X220i. The school gave them to us for free (we give them back at the end of year 12).

Hey what intel core is it? (Intel Core i5, i7 etc)?

On my tour they said that the school weren't funding laptops anymore, so there's a little more freedom as to which one we can have. Either way, dual device system is awesome

Does that mean we have to buy our own, or do they tell us to pay for a specific one?
Or can we buy whatever laptop we want.

Back in my day these telecommunication devices looked like, and felt like bricks. There was even a game of: 'how far can you throw the $30 Nokia before it breaks'. Legend has it that the Nokia broke the ground.

I really want to know which laptops we get? Cannot wait for info night

I think they'll provide the same laptops we were given, that is, Lenovo ThinkPad X220i.

For 2015 it is BYO laptop.  I am going to bring my VAX 11/780 ( about 50 years old and the size of a small car but hey I am sure no one will have the same as me ! )

Anyone crazy enough to consider an alienware or Razer laptop?

Personally, I'm going to go for a cheap netbook.
