Last Updated: Aug 13, 2024     25

The Fanshawe College laptop requirements page outlines the necessary specifications for students' laptops, highlighting that most programs prefer Windows 10 over Windows 11 due to software compatibility issues.

Apple M1/M2 MacBooks and Chromebooks are generally not recommended except for specific programs like Photography and Mobile Application Development. Key requirements include a multicore Intel or AMD processor, at least 16GB RAM, adequate internal and external storage, and necessary peripherals like webcams and microphones.

Specific requirements vary by program. For full details, refer to the laptop requirements page.
