Laptop specifications

Dear Parents, 

I have spoken to the ICT department, following many questions from parents, and asked for their advice on laptops for next year. 

Here is their advice: 

I would strongly suggest the following specifications when getting a new laptop:

Screen size: 11'' - 14''

Processor: Core i3 (latest generation) (Core i5 desirable)

RAM: 4GB minimum (8GB+ desirable)

Hard Drive: 250GB regular hard drive minimum (SSD, Solid State Drive - desirable, you can easily upgrade it to one)

The Operating System option is up to the student, the most common ones: Mac OS X, Windows 10 they can do great with both around the school.

For computer science I would suggest the "desirable" specs (with a 14'' screen) and for the rest the basic ones should be enough.

I hope this helps, 

Miss Gowman
