SHP Laptop Recommendation

A laptop sitting on a table next to a cup of coffee.

SHP Technology Services does not recommend Chromebooks or iPads because they cannot be used with Respondus Lockdown Browser in our environment at this time. Microsoft Surfaces running a mobile version of Windows 10 are also not recommended for the same reason, but Surfaces running a full version of Windows 10 are perfectly fine.

General Recommendations for Laptop Computers:

Processor: Intel or AMD processor 2.0 GHz or greater, or Apple M1 or greater
Operating System: Windows 10 or later; Mac OSX10.14 or higher
Memory (RAM): 8 GB RAM or greater
Storage: 128 GB hard drive or greater
Network: 802.11 Dual Band Wi-Fi or *Built-in LAN

If you have questions about your current computer, please contact the SHP Office of Technology Services (shp.techsupport@ttuhsc.edu).
