ArcGIS Pro is the most demanding software being taught in SNR classrooms. The software only runs on Windows-based computers, but it can be used on Apple computers with a Parallels virtual machine. SNR computer labs have ArcGIS, ENVI, and ERDAS software installed and are accessible to all SNR students 24/7. Your N-Card is required to access the labs after hours.
Here are the recommended specs for Windows laptops or desktops:
- Windows 11
- Core i5 or above
- 16GB of RAM
- 512 GB storage with at least 60 GB of free space
Here are the MINIMUM recommended specs for Macbooks or Apple desktops:
- Apple Silicon (M1 or higher)
Additional Purchase (optional)
Because of the change of less printed books to more online books and information, having a second monitor is recommended. This allows one monitor to have an assignment open and the second monitor to have the reading material displayed.
