Laptop and software information and purchase
Professional phase PA students have a (PC) laptop computer with wireless compatibility. It is recommended that the student computers have 8 GB of memory or more, a 256 GB or higher hard drive, and Windows 10. Your laptop must be compatible with our wireless network for internet service. The King’s College wireless network will provide service to end-users that are 802.11 n/ac compliant, which roughly covers devices built after 2014.
It is strongly recommended that students wishing to use an Apple/Mac laptop must install Windows 10 or higher and Microsoft Office*. This can be done by partitioning the hard drive and installing the PC software on the separate partition using Apple’s Bootcamp utility. If you have questions or difficulties with this you may call the King’s Help Desk at (570) 208-5900 ext. 4357 or email help@kings.edu.
