Note: Models and configurations may change throughout the summer due to vendor upgrades. These upgrades are not predictable and can result in students receiving systems that vary from the specification described above. The information listed on this site is the configuration of those systems currently being purchased for distribution to new undergraduate students. 

Once a student is issued the laptop they will not be able to return the equipment to upgrade to a later model. If the student desires, they can choose to delay receiving the equipment until August to help ensure the most current equipment for that distribution cycle.
