*Editor's note - in our Exploring Assistive Technology and Learning Supports at Carleton chapter (24:37 mark), we reference a preference for Windows laptops over MacBooks. MacBooks have no issues running the Microsoft 365 software suite, and are compatible with the vast majority of Carleton's program offerings. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused*
