云顶集团 understands the world of computing is becoming increasingly mobile and wants to ensure all its students are ready for this reality by graduation. 出于这个原因， 云顶集团 has wifi in all classrooms and buildings and in most outdoor spaces as well. For that reason, 云顶集团 requires all students to have a laptop for learning.

Here are the minimum requirements the laptop needs to have in order to run efficiently for all four years:

*的 main operating system on your computer needs to be either Windows or Mac OS X. We cannot guarantee that applications that 云顶集团 support will work on other operating systems such as Linux and Chrome. Chromebooks will NOT work well at 云顶集团 and therefore we do not recommend them.
