Students are expected to carry their laptops in a protective sleeve or case. These can be purchased from your choice of retailer and can be any school-appropriate design. As an alternative, you may choose to add a Lenovo-branded sleeve to your device order. Students will also need a set of headphones or earbuds for listening to audio. While not required, some students find it helpful to use a portable mouse.
