Specification for a computing platform to use when studying Information Systems and Computer Science
Our lab PCs are what we consider to be the best option as a suitable computing platform for our courses. The department laboratory tested specification is an Intel-based desktop PC with an i5 processor, 16GB RAM and 1TB storage running Windows 10. This specification supports all software required to successfully complete the practical coursework in Information Systems and Computer Science. To facilitate online learning and engagement, we recommend that any desktop or laptop purchased have both video and audio capabilities. For a laptop, it is best to purchase one with a built-in video camera. We suggest using a headset with a boom microphone for audio.
