Other options available through the Campus Computer Store.
Although the school uses primarily Dell hardware, we do not endorse Dell exclusively and in addition to the Precision 5510, we have identified some appropriate laptops from other manufacturers that are available through the Campus Computer Store.
The Lenovo ThinkPad P50 is Autodesk certified. It is a 15.6” laptop weighing 5.6 lbs.
The HP ZBook Studio G3 (15.6” screen, 4.4 lbs.) is also Autodesk certified.
