<p>Hey CrystalPineapple,</p>
<p>I can’t speak for Penn, but this is what I know from other campus wireless networks I’ve experienced:</p>
<p>Some enterprise wireless networks have trouble maintaining a connection with a specific intel chipset. This chipset is found in some Apple devices like the iPhone or iPod Touch. Apple’s laptops do not have this same chipset and do not experience problems with enterprise wireless networks like this. Regardless, most Universities have created new wireless networks specifically for compatibility with device like the iPhone that do use this chipset. </p>
<p>Whichever you choose, Mac or PC, the wireless should work just fine at Penn – Penn officially supports the use of Macs on their wireless network (“AirPennNet”).</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
