Laptop Computer If you don’t bring an iPad, you will need an Apple laptop computer to use your iBooks texts. If you have an iPad and you also want a computer, then either a Windows or Apple laptop will work. Your computer should run either Apple Mac OS X 10.13 or higher, or Windows 10. Mac OS X 10.13 and Windows 10 are free upgrades. NOTE: Most courses (especially those in music technology) in the Glenn Korff School of Music focus on Apple computers.
