are the computers at your school/college/university/work any good?

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

My elementary school had C2Ds and 512MB of Ram

[IronSoldier]

When I was at the school 1gb of ram to be replaced with i3's. Not great but better than some places have.

[ShadowCaptain]

Pentium G3220 with 4GB of ram, surprisingly quick as everything is stored over the network

 

same CPU as my home server its a very capable little thing

[coen113]

i bring my own, so its pretty good, macbook 2008 model.

[Husky]

NOPE.

Core i3

4 GB RAM

Really Bad HDD

TN Panel 1377x900 @ 30Hz

Windows 8.1 (Most of the time, corrupt install!)

Takes MINUTES to open any web browser.

Asking stupid questions today, are we?

[jamajka000]

My school have Dell Optiplex 765 (tower and slim ones). Also we have 3 rooms that have computers with E5 Xeons. ohh and a server room but i dont know what hardware is there.

[Fgtfv567]

Let's see, Samsung Chromebooks, i3 @ 1.99ghz lenovo laptops, but most the computers are these awful dell desktops with Pentiums (can't really check specifics) that are fast enough but can be mad loud as people turn up the fans...

Considering that all the computers are pretty much used for web browsing and typing, they are just fine as they are...

[EpicAdom]

My school has BYOD 

[Clyne]

i5 3570 4gb of ram, hd graphics for normal ones

i7 3770 8gb of ram, some nvidia card for the tech room

[W-Junk]

There are alot of different pc's at the computerlabs in my UNI, But most of them have 16/32Gb ram, i7-4770K//3770/2600, and some with quadro cards and some with firepro cards, And a few with Integrated graphics. 

[asim1999]

Wow wjunk, u got some nice rigs there in ur university

[Toddwjp]

Im doing engineering at uni, our building is only 2 years old and has alot of tech inside. all the work stations are now i5 4570s. (they actually spend money on us) quite a few rooms have a couple with quadros and i7s instead. and then there's the basements with flight simulators.

[dfsdfgfkjsefoiqzemnd]

At the office I use a Samsung Series 9 NP900X4D-A01 with a 128GB 840 EVO (the original Sandisk U100 was slooooooow) and 8 GB of low-voltage Adata DDR3-1600 CL9 memory. 

 

However most of the time I work at home, which means the gaming rig is my main work PC.

[A.D.A.M]

I think my school uses a core 2 duo thats like 7 years ago

[Darkman]

Nope, the best they have are Atom N270's and AMD Athlon x2 B22's? I think they are with integrated graphics.

[Pomfinator]

All of the CS labs are fitted with NUCs running Ubuntu.  I believe they're all the i3 versions, no idea how much storage each has cause school accounts are limited to 500mb of storage.

[bob345]

my school has a computer lab where all the pc's have 680's and i7's.

[connorpiper]

Its Pentium IIIs (1GB RAM).

Intel Core 2 Duos (2GB RAM).

Intel Core i5 3470 (8GB RAM),

Intel Core i5 3210M (8GB RAM),

Intel Core i7 3XXXM (8GB RAM)

 

All run 7 Enterprise 64Bit. The Pentiums are painfully slow. 

[watts300]

Heh... I work at Apple.  So ya, we've got the goods for sure. 

[ofr057]

My university just has imacs. All the imacs.

everywhere?, at my uni they use mac's in the library's and math's lab - but in my main computer lab we use dell's with i7's with 16gb of ram since there mainly used for mapping and remote sencing

 

the engineering lab computer's run dual 24's which makes me wish I did a engineering degree

[DarkRift5]

My high school has amazing internet (200mbps wired). It has OK desktops and crappy laptops.

It really sucks being an engineering student who needs a laptop for every engineering class and it runs the CAD programs like crap. We do have a couple workstations with Nvidia Quadros but they're for the fashion design class of all things. Meanwhile, those of us running simulations, 3d modeling, and precision wind tunnel instruments get left out in the cold.

[craptastic95]

My College uses Dell Towers with Xeon 8 core and from 16 - 32 GB of RAM in each. 

[HelloItsPersonalHD]

I.T. Is always the department where the cash that's leftover from all the other departments go to, There isn't usually a really high budget for new laptop every year at most schools. That's why most schools have crappy I.T.

same, apparently a lot of schools have this

[elecxonica]

My school just upgraded to Lenovo ThinkCenters running pentiums and 4 gig of ram (and windows 7 enterprise 32 bit...). They're ok but not great. They also have a number of really bad netbooks laying around for student use, they run atoms with 2 gigs of ram and the same windows 7 enterprise 32 bit.

 

My TAFE isn't as bad. I'm not sure about the PCs they have there, but in the music production class room I have class in they have some of the highest end iMacs (quad core i7s, 27", 780M, 32 gigs of RAM and a 256 gig SSD). However, they also have them set up in "deep freeze", so it wipes the drive when you log out/it crashes. Could be worse though.
