Specification – Major considerations are processor speed, memory size and hard drive size and type. Also bear in mind screen size, whether it has a DVD or Blu-ray drive and what peripheral devices (camera, scanner etc) you may want to plug in. Think about what you will use the computer for to help you decide. It might be helpful to ask for advice in a computer store or research your options on the internet. Many resources in the library can be booked in advance, however if you are in the library and a bookable resource is available you can use it. Booking in advance is the best way to guarantee access to the space you need (see the'How to book a learning space' tab).

A laptop is mobile, giving you flexibility with regards to where you can work. Plus you can access free Wi-Fi if you're working on campus. If a bookable space without IT is available you can use the space but please be aware that if another user books the space you will need to relocate to another available space or a non-bookable area.

Please note if you log in to a non-bookable IT space and do not use the computer for more than 30 minutes the system will automatically log you out.

For most courses, a computer with an i3 processor, 500GB hard drive, 8GB RAM and Windows 8 is more than adequate. You have 30 MINUTES to collect your equipment booking from your initial collection time. Failure to collect will result in your booking being cancelled. If you're considering a laptop but want a bigger screen at home, you can buy a screen and a port replicator separately.
