We are looking to purchase a new computer...

Buying a home computer is an individual choice and families should purchase the computer that best meets their personal needs. We understand that price is usually a major decision point in selecting a computer, however before purchasing a computer at the low-end end of the price spectrum, please ensure it meets the minimum specifications (see above) required to attend Provost Academy. As long as the computer meets the minimum specifications, there is not necessarily a recommended brand or model. All major manufacturers – Dell, Lenovo, HP, Acer, etc. – should offer a model that meets or exceeds the specifications. While some Netbooks may allow for successful access to Provost Academy resources we do not recommend purchasing a Netbook for the purpose of attending Provost Academy. Also, note that Provost Academy is not Mac-compatible at this time.
