New Computer Purchases
In general, a suitable computer purchase should include a speedy CPU, plenty of memory, a high- capacity hard drive, Wi-Fi capability (802.11b/g/n/ac) and/or the ability to physically connect to a wired Ethernet connection, and a comfortable screen size.
Carefully consider important options such as extended warranties on the computer itself, accidental damage protection when offered, and an extended battery warranty. We support all recent versions of Windows and Mac OS.
Computer hardware needed to run most new operating systems is also adequate to run most of the typical software students will encounter while at Gettysburg. If you have special software needs, you may wish to discuss your requirements with your vendor.
Do not purchase Microsoft Office. Gettysburg students can get Office 365 for free. Visit G-Tech for more information.
G-Tech Computer Service: Students Helping Students
G-Tech is a student-staffed and IT-supported group that helps Gettysburg College students with their personal computers and devices. Techs help students connect to the network, set up email, remove spyware and viruses, configure cell phones and entertainment devices, resolve hardware issues, and troubleshoot in general. G-Tech is the venue where students can receive computer and technical support.
G-Tech is located in the West Building. Enter through the blue doorway in the middle of the east side and turn right into The Hub. G-Tech offices are at the far end of The Hub.
