Laptop information Boys entering College in 2025 are required to have one of the following laptops: • A MacBook Air or MacBook Pro with a minimum of 8GB memory, 256GB storage, and running macOS Ventura 13.5 or later • The MacBook must also have sufficient battery life to last the school day. In addition to the laptop, the following is also recommended: • A hard case or sleeve (these can be purchased at the Uniform Shop) to protect the laptop while it is used at College • A backpack which has enough room to carry the laptop • A backup USB flash drive – to be left at home, but used to back up any files stored on the laptop • Insurance cover for potential damage. Laptop insurance policies are available from various sources • We also recommend that the laptop has an extended warranty. This does not have to be an Apple warranty – there are third- party warranties available. We encourage the boys to take responsibility for managing their laptops and we provide opportunities to assist them, through our classroom programmes and our Digital Services help desk.
