Models
Each spring, Information Systems conducts an evaluation to determine which computers will be included in the WakeWare Program for the upcoming academic year. This evaluation consists of analysis of the device landscape, peer institution research, feedback from current students, and conversations with faculty and staff. Every year, models are selected that best meet the current needs of campus. Please note, WakeWare selections are subject to change as we are continually evaluating newly released models.
The 2021 models are listed below. We still have similar models from the previous academic year in stock and available for purchase. Simply click “Pre-Order” below on the model you are interested in, and select last year’s model to purchase. Contact the Bookstore with all order questions.
