A BYOD computer should comply with the Baimbridge College Technical Specifications and be used as described in the College’s Acceptable Use Agreement.
Baimbridge College offers two BYOD options:
LWT Portal. There are computers available on the LWT Portal that meet the recommended specifications listed in this document. Keep in mind that the cheaper devices on this portal may not perform adequately for the full expected life.
BYOD (not LWT Education Portal). If a student is to bring their own computer for learning it must meet the Device specifications listed in this document.
If you decide your child is going to bring their own device this document will provide you with the necessary specifications to ensure the device meets the minimum system requirements.
We encourage all parents to support local suppliers to benefit our local community. If you wish to purchase locally you will need to print out the Minimum Device Specifications from the link below and ask for them when purchasing. The following are some local suppliers who could be approached....

We also strongly recommend that the device has a TANC Bag, the instances of device damage to and from and whilst at school have decreased exponentially since we started using them.
If purchasing from LWT, there is an optional extended warranty and accidental damage insurance to cover against accidental damage and theft if you wish to take it up.
All students will be charged $5 on the booklist for printing credit. This can be topped up at any time at reception.

Refurbished Notebooks
If considering a budget notebook, please consider talking to BCC IT Support as cheaper notebooks rarely allow for upgrading and can often have disappointing and a short practical lifespan. A refurbished notebook can perform as well as a new high-end one and can be found at a fraction of the cost of a new low-end laptop. We are happy to support our parents and students with current recommendation and purchasing advice when considering a refurbished notebook.
