We recommend Windows or Apple laptops or computers for academic coursework. Tablets or smartphones are also helpful for on-the-go note-taking and messaging.
At this time, UB does not support or recommend purchase or use of a Chromebook.
Some schools, including the following, have their own computer standards. Speak with them before making a purchase: School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), School of Architecture and Planning, School of Social Work, Graduate School of Education
