ECE Current Students

Welcome 1st year,

It is recommended that you have adequate computing available to you throughout your studies, normally this starts with a decent laptop.  Most of the software you will use is currently supported on the major operating systems (OSs) such as Windows, macOS or Unix/Linux based. However, the operating system supported at UL is Windows with only limited support for others. 

If buying a Windows laptop, the minimal recommended specifications for a mid-range laptop are:  

A lower specified machine will suffice at the start of your studies e.g. i5 processor/8GB memory/HD display, but usability and performance may become issues.

We do not recommend a particular laptop or manufacturer.  However, the Higher Education Authority have worked with suppliers to make package deals available for students on their HEAnet Store.  To explore, first navigate to the HEAnet Store University of Limerick as the home organisation page, and login with your UL login (required). 

Dell is the preferred supplier for Windows laptops and if you click on one of the Dell offerings you will be brought to the Dell store, where again you will be required to login or to register.

For an improved ergonomics and more effective working, you should consider purchasing a case, a monitor (at least 21” in size with minimum full HD resolution), and an external keyboard and mouse.

We encourage you to get familiar with computer specifications before purchasing and to shop around.
