Upgraded Specifications
Some subjects (Senior Technology (Design), and Design) use specialised software which may require additional hardware to run efficiently on a laptop, for example, Adobe Creative Cloud programs. If your student is required to install and use higher end software programs on their BYOD laptop, it is recommended (but not mandatory) to consider a laptop with a larger RAM capacity (e.g., 16GB) and/or a more powerful CPU (e.g., Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 equivalent).
Please be aware that alternative hardware specifications, such as different CPUs, are acceptable as long as they deliver performance comparable to the minimum specifications.
Other devices that are not permitted:
- Chromebooks
- Linux Devices
- Android Tablets or iPads
Once you have purchased your BYOD laptop, please proceed to the following Laptop Setup & Enrolment page.
