Some things to keep in mind when purchasing a computer Be sure the computer is designed for upgrading, such as adding a larger hard drive, more memory, and with the capacity to add other components you might want at a later date. Printers are usually sold separately. Inkjet printers provide color printing at a reasonable cost.
Laser printers provide high-quality printing.
Be sure to compare prices, features, and cartridge-replacement costs. Off-campus students can use a modem to dial in and connect to the Internet. However, students use computers in their coursework in many ways. The library s catalog of materials and some full-text databases are online. K-State provides several computing labs on campus, as well as the library.
