- Description
- The computer is the single most important item during a student’s time at the University of Ottawa. It is the medium in which students can access Brightspace, a website where students can submit and receive assignments as well as engage in class discussions, send and receive emails through Outlook, create their class schedule, apply for bursaries, receive tax forms through their student portal (UOzone), research (Omni), and take notes (Word). The computer is also very useful for a student outside of school use; it is a necessary product for all students.
While the specific MacBook Air 15” may not be the most common model, the Apple brand itself clearly dominates among students. Each person tends to choose the version that fits their preferences, but the Apple logo is what ties them all together.
The MacBook stands out with its fast performance, built-in features such as AirDrop, iMessage, and FaceTime. This is what makes it easy for students to connect and share work. While owning a MacBook can feel like a status symbol, it also represents belonging to the image of the modern, connected student. - Creator
