your school labs's computer hardware?

[Maxibonbits]

Where I go to college you can use either a MacBook Pro 2012 or some HP Elite book.

At uni we have Dell AIO's with 4770's and either 8gb or 16gb of ram (can't remember...). There are still some older Dell desktops that are hanging around that have 1st gen Core i5's with 6gb ram but they're about be replaced with the AIO's

[Rhyn]

The laptops are running amdx64s as well as the desktops.  Generally they all have around 3-4 gigs unless you're a technician in my film class which, ironically, gives you 2 gigs or 1 gig, which is just no just no.  They all have old nvidia cards which get the job done.  We do have newer macs in film but since people don't know how to use the file server correctly all of them are now incredibly slow and full of old video files.

At my school, in most of the computer labs, as well as the majority of class rooms with projectors, have really old Optima machines (I think the company doesn't even seem exist anymore). They run pentium 4s of some sort (I beleive anyway), and XP (not even with all the latest updates because they slow down too much). The library has some fairly new (I think haswell based) Lenovo machines, running pentium chips and windows 7 enterprise. There's also a collection of Lenovo netbooks that were part of the DER Program. Not sure of the specs, i think 1 gig ram, and an atom chip. They suck, take 5 mins to log on etc. All the students in year 10 up til last year also got netbooks, the model i received is a pentium, 4 GB ram, 320 GB HDD. Also, an 11" screen. They're also encouraging us BYOD (which seems to mean, according to at least one teacher, is iPad or a phone).

 

At TAFE in the room i'm in (a music production classroom) we have a 27" iMac with either a core 2 duo or a quad i5, 12 GB RAM and an AMD GPU of some sort. Also, the annopying apple flat keybaord and Mighty mouse. They also seem to have HP Desktops of some sort in the library.

You wished you could play games with your schools computers?

I study IT and we have like 4 classes with 20 x thinkpad t420 (i5 2520m) + 4gb ram in some classes and some classes with i5-3470 HP desktops with 8gb ram and 1080p displays. All computers have just igpu.

Also everyone in IT class can get t420 + bag for 50€ deposit and when school ends either keep it or return it for 50€. (It comes with most adobe software too.)

And those thinkpads sell like 1500€ here O_o

Nah. I wonder why they didnt choose a better gpu if they had such a good cpu to render in cad? Im a first timer in cad so im not pretty familiar with what it uses to render.

And yep. Its a dell aio. Probably from a year to 2 tops.

[Almercenary]

My schools graphics lab PCs load photoshop in about 10 mind (9 minutes 47 second to be exact) haven't checked there specs but the it guys seem like knob heads. Most annoying thing, especially when I only need to print off like one thing. Also doubling pixel density takes fucking forever

[xox]

Intel Celeron vPro with 2GB RAM and a 60GB SSD. These are new computers too.

[ItsComrade]

• Intel Core i5-2400 3.10 GHz Processor
• 250GB Hard Disk Drive
• 2GB 1333 MHz DDR3 SDRAM
• WIndows XP.

Yeah...

I remember when we did pov-ray with our computers it was pain to render the image each time you changed something to see what it did.

[StingBull]

I saw zip drives on them. Need I say more?

[massiveturkey]

Depends on the computers, most are Sandy quad core i7's and 16GB of RAM, and iGPU. Some are Celeron based. Some are Xeon based. Some are Opteron based. I think we even have Itanium somewhere

[miyabwah]

Core 2 Duo E7500s with [unknown] amount of RAM and Radeon HD 2400s.

[CAKEwasTRUE]

80% of the pcs now are Dells/HP's with i5 3570 3.4GHz, Intel intergrated Graphics, 4GB DDR3 ram, 500GB local Storage, 200GB Student Network Storage, Windows 7 Pro 64Bit

 

The other 20% are still P4 Pc's

These are the good o ones. We also have bad ones.

[Frix]

Like 22 i think it is Intel i7 3770's, 7770's 8gb RAM. That's all I know about them right now. Haven't used them much.

[CAKEwasTRUE]

 

• Intel Core i5-2400 3.10 GHz Processor
• 250GB Hard Disk Drive
• 2GB 1333 MHz DDR3 SDRAM
• WIndows XP.

Yeah...

 

-i5

 

-DDR3

 

-Windows XP

 

[szewei]

3rd gen I3s with 4gb of ram running intergrated graphics

[TooManyErrors]

Almost all of them are i3s on integrated running Windows 7. Those that aren't are iMacs. Not that people actually use them over their personal laptops and tablets.

[The_Evenger]

my schools just updated the library computers, they're pritty beafy, SSDs, 8GB ram, etc. they're quite over the top for what we use them for.

[MrTomnus]

My school computers are pretty bad. They are AiOs and the school network support has blocked half the stuff on it - you can't even look at the specs, go to the control panel for accessibility options etc.

 

When I checked I think they had an i3, likely sandy bridge, 2GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive. I couldn't find out which architecture the OS is running on but I know it's Windows 7 enterprise. I really hate them, everyone treats them like crap and the mice have the feet worn off them so they scratch across the desks, and the keyboards either have stuck or missing keys... Makes me appreciate how nice my PC is!

 

I just wish they put SSDs in them for the boot drive. It would make them so much faster and they'd only need a 60GB drive. The network team just do a crappy job full stop - my friend and I have found way to break it a few times. We haven't done anything about it though

[Gary Da Cat]

My school computers are just horrible. They are all using core 2 duos and Pentiums. Another thing i have to mention is they are all using XP even the ones that they got a year ago with windows 7 they still downgraded them. Now to talk about the security... lets just say i could access most all of the report cards of the students from the previous years and I found a ton of my old teachers test templates, soo yeah.

[The_Strict_Nein]

As our school is pretty rare in that we offer a Computing A-Level (which is what you study between 16-18 for you Americans) ALL the computer suites in the school from the labs to the library are Core 2 Quads with 8GB of RAM and some Nvidia card I can't quite remember.

 

Except those music tech show-offs with their Macs

 

Nice for programming.

[Superarragon]

My school has a few labs, but all of them have an Athlon X2 something, 2GB of RAM, a 250gb HDD, some have XP while others have Win7, and low end 3000-4000 integrated AMD graphics. Earlier this year our class had to edit movies on them with movie maker, and the entire OS would freeze every ~10mins for most of us.

[Lil Chillbil]

Core i5's

16 gigs of ram

660

 

 

i'm homeschooled  

[Nirmal]

No. No specs, at all. jk, they are some stupid thin clients running on a stupid server that can't handle them. Thank goodness the computer related courses get Dell Optiplex 780s, core 2 duo, 4GB ram, hard drive, old professional series monitor.
