Laptop Requirement

The Maine Business School requires all business students to have a personal laptop. It can be a Mac or PC, though a PC is preferred. You do not need to buy a new laptop if you already have one, but it must meet the minimum requirements below:

Processor: Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5
Memory: 8 GB of RAM, 16 GB is recommended
Storage: 256 GB solid-state drive (SSD)
Updated Operating System: Windows 11 and MacOS 14: Sonoma
A camera and microphone

Please note: iPads, Chromebooks and Surface laptops are not acceptable as they don’t run the software required. If you have a question about our laptop policy, please contact the Maine Business School Student Success Center at mbs@maine.edu or 207.581.1997.
