This is a crowdsourced petition, meaning anyone that has access to this can help compile(pour hate and trash the requirement) it.
Dissatisfaction with requirement
- Tablets are expensive compared to other laptops of similar specs
- Available models are limited to a 13.3" maximum screen size
- USB Wacom tablets are available for fairly cheap and fuction as well as onscreen tablets. Many studets prefer USB tablets because the keyboard can be used while writing
- Students can't use Macbooks, as they lack tablet functionality.
- Tablets can not be upgraded nearly as extensively as full-scale laptops. Lenovo tablets support a maximum 320GB hard drive, and are limited to a dual-core i7 2620M.
- All available tablets are pre-installed with Windows, forcing students to buy an individual Windows license in addition to a VT Windows site license.
- Many students hold the opinion that the univerity bookstore is evil.
