Do you have any advice about buying a personal computer?

Yes, read Kevin Chapman’s excellent article, “Purchasing a Personal Computer.” Additionally, if you’re taking a CAMS production class and won’t be able to use a computer lab in the Weitz, consider how any other computer you’d use compares with Adobe’s current Premiere Pro system requirements.

Students should’ve been contacted directly by ITS about potentially purchasing a computer. Students with questions should contact the Helpdesk by email or online.
