2024-2025 Laptop Recommendations by College / Major

To discuss custom-built devices or devices not listed on the recommended device lists, please contact the store, and we will be glad to help you place an order and receive your educational discounts.

Call ( 864-656-0404) or visit the store for details on current models.

There are upgraded versions of each model listed that are also recommended and available for purchase through the TigerTech Shop.

All Windows laptops include a four-year limited warranty and four-year accidental damage coverage; please see terms and conditions for details on each specific level of coverage.

TigerTech Shop also offers Safeware to students and includes it in the Apple laptop pricing above. Safeware is not required but highly recommended for additional protection. If you have purchased your Apple computer directly from Apple, you have 30 days upon receiving the laptop to purchase Safeware. Contact TigerTech Shop to arrange this purchase or inquire further.

Software is not pre-installed on computers purchased. All software is available on the CCIT software web page

The new M1/M2/M3 processor iMac and MacBook cannot run the Windows operating system. If you are required to use Windows-only applications, you would have one option if you chose to use an Apple device. You will need to run the Clemson Citrix solution (driving a remote Windows computer in a window on your M1/M2/M3 Mac).

Parallels is not a Clemson-supported option.

Chromebooks and iPads are not a proper substitution for a primary laptop. TigerTech Shop does not provide hardware or software support for these devices.

Computers ordered online must be delivered to your home address. The Clemson University Post Office will not accept computer deliveries.
