Laptop advice Applied Sciences

You are assumed to have Internet access at home. A laptop is needed for the laboratory lessons and mathematics. The modules currently being devised assume that students have their own laptop and all the necessary facilities. Laptops can be used for projects, assignments and tests and allow you to work whenever and wherever you want. 

Modern education is based on swift access to data sources and your own files and applications. A wireless network in combination with your own laptop will enable you to use the Internet and your own files and applications practically anywhere in the Faculty. You will no longer have to take the opening hours of the computer rooms and the availability of computers into account during busier periods (during exams or approaching deadlines for submitting work). Synchronising the files on your laptop and network will also allow you to continue working offline, on the train, for example. 

Which laptop?

TU Delft has a laptop project. The laptop project offers a choice of two high-end laptops or a low-end  laptop. All models are suitable for the software required for a programme in Apllies Physics, Moleculer Science & Tecology. For Nanobiology the high-end laptops are more suitable. 

Participation in the laptop project is not compulsory but does offer considerable advantages:

•  It is a powerful computer with good screen quality. 
•  The price is good 
•  3 year warranty. On campus repair and battery and possibility to get a swap laptop while your laptop is in repair.

If you already own a laptop or if you want to buy one elsewhere, bear the following in mind:

• Suitable for Windows 10 64 bits
• A multi-core (quad-core) processor
• A discrete (dedicated) video card*
• At least 8 GB of RAM (16 GB recommended)
• At least 256 GB of storage (512 GB recommended)
• At least 15” full HD screen (1920 x 1080)
