In 1994, Grove City College made the bold decision to give every incoming student and faculty member a laptop computer. Now, more than a decade later, over 3,000 computers are in current circulation on campus, with freshmen using top-of-the-line Tablet PCs made by Hewlett-Packard. The table below gives the specifications for each freshman class since the inception of this Information Technology Program.
