System specifications for your laptop

To take part in the Master’s programme in Bioinformatics, you will need a laptop that can be connected to an external screen.

Specifications

  • Processor: The processor capacity should be in the upper segment and of a later processor architecture, such as Intel i5 or higher generation 7 or equivalent AMD version.
  • Internal memory (RAM): More than 8 GB.
  • Hard drive: 500 GB, preferably larger as it may happen that several different programs need to be installed.
  • Graphics: The graphics card is of less importance as the programme does not primarily handle graphic modeling, etc. However, when working with programming labs, it may be helpful to connect a larger external screen. The laptop should support a higher resolution display, preferably 1920 on the internal screen and at least 2560 on an external screen.
  • Portability: The computer should be lightweight and portable, while also durable enough to withstand transport in a bag.
  • Operative system: Whether you choose Windows, Linux or MAC is less important. This is largely a matter of personal preference.

Please note: Chromebooks are not suitable for this programme.
