Laptop Recommendations

Students attending JHSPH make frequent use of their laptops for research, writing and note taking. The Information Systems team strongly urges all students to upgrade their laptops (or purchase new ones) to meet the following technical criteria, ensuring them seamless access to the School’s networks and resources. Enrolled students are eligible for significant discounts on Dell equipment when purchasing new systems.

The School provides wireless network access to connect to the Internet and student printing resources from within the Wolfe Street and Hampton House buildings. Students will need to meet with Information System Staff at designated times to have the school's wireless instructions added to their laptop. If you would like to purchase a new Dell system, view the instructions on the JHSPH Dell Premier Purchasing page.
