Framingham State College & Dell Partner to Bring You the Dell E6400

The intent of Framingham State College's laptop program is to bring technology-rich tools and resources into the classroom and help instructors to expand and deepen the learning experiences of their students. The wireless technology expands the access for students and instructors to Web-based and network-based resources through the use of laptops equipped with wireless LAN cards communicating with wireless access units.

All new students entering the College are required to own a wireless laptop computer . Each year, the College secures a competitive price based on the best value, warranty and service for a recommended laptop for students and the College to purchase. This year Recommended laptop is the Dell Latitude E6400. The E6400 we believe is ideal for to meet students needs during a four year academic program.

If a student is looking for a more powerful machine however, we will also be offering the Latitude E6500 as an alternative. The E6500 is a slightly larger and more powerful system. Please note: The more advanced features of the E6500 are NOT required and not considered necessary by Information Technology Services but is offered to those who may desire a larger system.
