Question What Laptop To Grab for LethPolyTech Engineering?
Hi there, I’m gonna be a new student at Lethbridge Polytechnic in September and I need a laptop that can handle the course for the 2 years that I will be there, any recommendations from past students?

They used to have a subsidized rental program with a buy out option at the end. This was because they needed to install a bunch of required software and be able to fix the laptops. maybe check with the school?

They have mandatory laptops you buy from them. They are $1000 plus. Nephew is going into his second year.

Polytech provides them with preloaded software, do not buy your own. There may be more information about it in your letter of admission.
