The study examined the ownership of laptop computers by undergraduate students in Nigerian Universities, using Universities in Rivers State. Survey Research design was adopted for the study. Structured questionnaire caption "Laptop Ownership by Undergraduate Students in Nigerian Universities (LOUSNU)", was used as an instrument to extract the information that generated the data, interview and direct observation also form part of the exercise. Three hundred (300) undergraduate students were selected at random. Out of the three hundred (300) copies of questionnaire sent out, two hundred and eighty three (283) were returned and analysed, Simple percentages, frequencies and tables were used in the analysis of data. The results show, amongst others, that 55% (155 of 283 students) do not own laptops. The use of laptop computers would support their academic work but due to lack of finance they are not able to own one. (9%) very few parents and guardians could afford it for their wards/children. Researchers thus recommend among others, that Higher Institutions in Nigeria should begin to think of providing laptop computers for borrowing, the same way books are borrowed by students.
