Back to School Device Recommendations for Incoming Students
The following are the recommended specifications for student devices. Please use them as a guideline when picking out a laptop or tablet for in class use:
Brands such as Dell, Asus, Lenovo, HP, or Microsoft/Windows are highly recommended.
A Windows Operating System is recommended, but Mac/Apple devices are fine. Chromebooks are NOT recommended.
Memory: At least 100gb of storage may be necessary. Solid State Drives are highly recommended. A 256 GB SSD is a good affordable option.
Ram: At least 8GB of RAM is needed. 16GB of RAM is ideal.
Processor: A modern i5 Processor or higher is ideal or an AMD Ryzen equivalent is highly recommended.
All other specifications can be personal preference, but these three in particular are highly important so that your device remains reliable for the entirety of your student’s time at SFC.
