Laptop for LPN Program

Nursing Students LPN/LVN Students

Hi!

I am starting an LPN program in the fall and I need a new laptop. I am a Mac person but I need a PC. There are few requirements and I'm not in a rush, but I thought I would love to hear from people who have been there done that. Any recommendations?

Thank you!

Windows 7 or higher (8, 8.1, or 10) (needed for installation of Safe Exam Browser)

ï‚· MS Office 2013 or higher

ï‚· 4 GB of Memory

ï‚· 160 Gig Hard Drive (bigger is better)

ï‚· Accidental coverage warranty is recommended as an option when purchasing a laptop

Of note, it comes with a second bay to add another hard drive, and has an extra bay for ram. You can add up to 64 megs of RAM, but you won't need to. After it goes through updates it takes maybe 5 seconds to go from off to being logged in. Battery life is very good as well.

I highly recommend the Microsoft surface pro. It's a laptop and a tablet combined. It's also very lightweight.
