[nfbcs] Computer science major one computer?

Tue Apr 25 01:32:40 UTC 2017

I did fine with 8 GB ram on my windows laptop.  Don't forget also that
you will probably need to give presentations so make sure to get a
laptop with a VGA port and HDMI port if windows.  Also, bigger laptops
like 17 inch have bigger keyboards and keypads.  I have a bigger
laptop now which has a VGA port.  Smaller laptops I had before didn't
have vga ports and only mini hdmi.  I much prefer my 17 inch laptop
over the smaller ones I had before.
