Laptop requirements for students (BYOD)

Students of ITM are invited to use their own laptop for their studies. It doesn’t matter if you use a MacBook or a Windows laptop, as far as they comply with the system requirements.

Windows

We expect your laptop to have at least the following specifications:

  • Windows 8, but Windows 10 is recommended. Windows 7 shouldn’t be an issue, but is no longer officially supported by Microsoft as of February 2020

  • Intel Core i3 7th generation or AMD A12-9800 with a clock speed of 2.4GHz

  • 4GB (preferably 8GB) of RAM (memory)

  • Preferably a 256GB SSD hard drive, but a normal hard drive is also acceptable, albeit slower

  • Battery life of at least 6 hours

  • Wi-Fi card

 To find your system settings on Windows 8 or Windows 10, follow these instructions.

Mac

For Mac users, we at least expect a more or less recent Macbook Air with macOS 10.11 or higher. To find your system settings, follow these instructions.
