A dead laptop is as useful as a paperweight, so, make sure you have decent battery life. Good battery life - While NJIT has been updating lecture halls with more power outlets as of late, there is still a high likelihood that you could go for several hours between charges if your schedule has a lot of lectures back to back.My laptop when I started here did not have an HDMI port which led to some awful moments when I didn't have an adapter and had to present. An HDMI output or an adapter - While this isn't truly relevant right now, when you're on campus, it's a good thing to have when needing to connect to a projector.As next semester will likely feature a number of online exams due to converged learning, you'll need one. A webcam - Both Respondus Lockdown Browser and ProctorU require a webcam for use.This said, there are a few "must haves" with hardware, especially with current events: Essentially, any laptop kept in good condition made in the last five years or so should be more than enough.

The most intensive application I've had to run so far for my degree was the Eclipse IDE, which is not an intensive piece of software by any measure. I'll cut to the chase, for at least CS and IT (not including the Game Development track), the hardware requirements listed by NJIT are definitely overkill. Your major might require different specifications (you might need to run intensive CAD software or something) so take this with a pinch of salt if you're not in YWCC. Hi there! There have been a couple of posts asking about laptop specifications, specifically with respect to this page on NJIT's website, and I wanted to give my take as someone who just finished three years of a CS degree.īefore I start, I want to note that I'm specifically writing this with YWCC (CS/IT/IS/etc.) students in mind because that's what I'm familiar with.
