Columbia does not require undergraduates to own computers, and CUIT supports computer clusters and labs that are open 24/7 for student use. However, with the increased potential for remote learning, many students find owning a personal laptop or desktop computer convenient.
CUIT has negotiated discount arrangements with Apple, Dell, and other vendors on behalf of the Columbia community. You are in no way obligated to purchase from these vendors if you prefer shopping elsewhere.
Discounted pricing is available on all products, but we receive our largest discount on commonly purchased institutional systems and product-bundled packages, and include a minimum three-year warranty.
In the event of remote learning, a webcam and microphone are important for classes held over video. Most laptops have built-in cameras and microphones. Computers without a built-in webcam require an external webcam to connect to a video meeting/class. Alternatively you could try using the camera on your smartphone or tablet while using your computer for notes or classwork.
Where it falls short: By default, some configurations of the Aspire 5 (A514-54) ship with Windows 11 S mode, which only allows apps from the Microsoft Store and limits you to Microsoft Edge for web browsing. But you can switch it to Windows 11 Home for free to install any program you need. And like many inexpensive Windows laptops, our pick comes with a ton of unnecessary bloatware that takes up space and slows down performance. Follow these steps to remove those programs and make your laptop feel faster and be more secure. The Aspire 5 (A514-54) also lacks a fingerprint reader, which some of our other picks have. 041b061a72
