"Respondents from community colleges, however, more often rely on older machines and are less likely to own laptops, suggesting that they may need greater use of computer labs and other on-campus IT resources. Only 32.2% own a laptop less than two years old, and two-fifths (40.4%) do not own a laptop at all. Instead, they are more likely to own desktops (77.0%) than students at four-year institutions (50.5%). This general pattern for community colleges held true for the 2006 and 2007 data as well. Finally, 1.5% of respondents (416) report that they still do now own any kind of computer. These respondents are fairly evenly distributed across the demographic and insitutional characteristics ECAR asked about."
