Computer for Computer Science A Level

Post by BucksBornNBred »

Hi. Does anyone know if a laptop is necessary for A Level Computer Science and, if so, what would be appropriate (assuming the current clustershambles allows my DS to go into sixth form). Many thanks for any advice.

Hi I’ve just asked my son this question as he is about to move into year 13 and is studying computer science. He says at his college students need access to a computer at home to do the non exam assessment which is 20% of the marks. He suggests a computer with 4gb+ of ram and £100+ cpu is preferable. You may want to wait though to see what your DCs college recommend! I hope this helps.
