Laptop Information
All Lake Area Technical College students must have a laptop. Purchasing a laptop at the Lake Area Tech Stax Bookstore is required of students in specific programs, but we encourage all students to consider buying theirs through Stax. If you are a student enrolled in a company sponsored program or receiving a Build Dakota Scholarship please check with the Lake Area Tech Foundation Office to see if the laptop is covered as part of the agreement.
Programs requiring students to purchase a laptop through the bookstore include:
Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 1
- Energy Operations/Energy Technology
Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 2
- Electronic Systems Technology
- Precision Machining
- Robotics
- Computer Information Systems (or compatible system approved by CIS instructor)
- Photography/Media (or compatible system approved by Photography instructor)
If your program is not listed above, you are still required to have a laptop for class that is compatible with one of the models offered by Lake Area Tech. However, purchasing a laptop from the Stax Bookstore is not mandatory. (See below for specs)
**Lake Area Tech does not support Chromebooks
