My research includes approximately 40 universities, the ones most regularly attended by our graduates. Of those schools, very few have specific models that they require. Many list recommended models, and often include a Mac and PC so that students can
choose. The vast majority list minimum or recommended specs for both Mac and PC - their major concern is being able to function on their networks and use basic applications. A few schools require specific machines for specific majors.
The list doesn't allow me to attach the pdf I send to parents and seniors - if you want to see it, let me know and I'll send it to you directly. Information on university web sites changes regularly at this time of year, so some of it may be a little
outdated. Let me know if you have questions.
