Equipment required for bootcamp

**What are the specifications for a laptop? **


Plan to use a somewhat powerful laptop/desktop come React Native (10 weeks into the Front End or Full Stack Bootcamps).


Starting with React Native your laptop will be asked to run multiple software at the same time, including emulating a phone. This will require you to use a mid-category laptop powerful enough.


Please plan to buy one of the following laptops if you do not have a machine meeting these specifications:



_Processor: minimum Intel i5 or equivalent _


_RAM: minimum 8GB _


_Hard Drive: minimum SSD _


_Age: max 3 years old _



Here's what you need to know, and purchase recommendations:



A Chromebook won't work. You will need a proper PC or Mac Laptop come React Native.



For a PC Laptop please select one of these (performances will vary based on cost and specifications):


Good: Dell Intel i5


Better: Dell AMD Ryzen 8 Gb or Asus AM Ryzen 16 Gb


Best: Asus Ryzen, Dell Refurbished


For a Mac Laptop please select:


Good: MacBook Air


Better: MacBook
