Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Every freshman at Wake Forest is issued a new Lenovo (formerly IBM) laptop computer. This is great because you do not need to worry about buying a computer before you come to school, and your laptop will be loaded with a fantastic software package. Because everyone has the same type of computer, it is very easy to address any problems that you may have. The IS Help Desk is located in the library, which makes it hassle-free to bring in your laptop for a question. If your computer requires more help and needs to be sent out, Wake will provide you with a loaner computer.

The entire Wake Forest campus is wireless, which means that you never have to worry about getting a wireless signal. Additionally, there is a computer lab in the library that you can use if you do not have access to your computer. The best thing, however, is that Wake Forest upgrades your computer for free after sophomore year.

Wake Provides Laptops

Because Wake gives you a laptop your freshman year, everyone has great connectivity and usability because they are optimized to work with the campus.

Great

Every student receives a free IBM laptop upon arrival. It has every program you need installed. I highly recommend the 80 insurance plan that replaces everything. I broke my screen and they gave me a loaner and gave me a new computer on the same day.

Ehh

Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of the thinkpads. Mine was incredibly slow and problematic. I brought my computer from home and used that the entire school year. However, the thinkpads are handy because they have a lot of programs that you otherwise would have to buy.
