Recommended Laptop Specifications

PC or Mac? Business Runs on Windows.

At Terry, the standard operating system is Windows 10 or higher. Since Windows OS runs on 75% of current computers, learning Windows is an important part of your skill set.

Uga Vlab Download For Mac Os

Terry’s Office of IT (OIT) highly recommends you do not purchase a Mac if you are not prepared to deal with the added complications, cost, and time required to dual boot and install Windows on a Mac. Since many business software applications do not run on the Mac OS, some Terry courses require access to a Windows-based laptop.

Alternatively, UGA’s vLab makes University-supported software available to students, faculty, and staff on their personal computers (Mac/PC) and tablets. While not all of UGA’s supported software is installed on the virtual lab, some applications, including Microsoft Office, SPSS, STATA, and MATLAB are available in a limited capacity. For more information, visit: https://eits.uga.edu/support/vlab/.

Tablets?

iPad or Android tablets work great for note-taking, browsing, and information consumption. However, you will need a laptop for homework and other activities. Be prepared to bring your laptop on days when faculty require laptops for in-class activities.
