More buying tips
Review these tips before purchasing a computer.
- Double check price quotes. Sometimes the prices don't include a keyboard, mouse, monitor, or the recommended operating system.
- Printers are usually sold separately. Inkjet and laser printers provide high-quality printing. Before you buy, compare prices, features, and cartridge-replacement costs.
- Cables. Ensure you have everything needed to connect and use your systems, including power cables, USB cables, and Ethernet cables.
- Netbooks. Laptops with screens smaller than 12 inches are not recommended
for use as a student's one and only computer.
- Minimum network requirements. Computers brought to K-State should meet, at the very least, Second
Life’s minimum system requirements.
