Computer Recommendations

Hastings College does not sell computers, however, if you are purchasing a new computer for school use we have the following recommendations.

A students computer should minimally contain:
  • 2 Gb of memory
  • 120 Gb hard disk
  • Ethernet network adapter
  • USB micro/mini drive for removable storage*
  • MS Windows 7 
  • MS Office 2010 Professional**
* USB drives are the recommended way for students to move files back and forth between lab computers and personally owned computers.

** Students with a valid school ID are eligible for education pricing on MS Office products. Present school ID to any MS authorized education reseller for a great discount. Education price for Office 2010 Professional is approx.$200.  Another option which provides even more savings on MS Office is to go to the Microsoft web site http://www.microsoft.com/student/office/en-us/default.aspx and take advantage of the “MS Ultimate Steal.” .
