Law students occasionally attempt to use the laptop they owned in college and extend its performance through their law school program.  The two major variables to evaluate related to this choice are:

1] Reliability - Even if your machine is repairable, how much time are you willing to spend "off-line" while tweaking, repairing, or creating work-arounds?

2] Performance - We have one of the fastest wireless networks available anywhere and our overall network is rated faster than 99% of all networks. Your machine may be running, but how well is it helping you to work efficiently?
