My partner did a software engineering degree with a minor in security systems, so I suppose I can provide some input.Sb suggest i should ask the lecturer, went to fci department to ask upon this but no luck so help pls?
The laptop he used for home assignments was a Lenovo Y500N with i5, 8G RAM, GT750M, and SSD+HDD, along with a Samsung secondary monitor.
He later purchased a 13" MacBook Air for the weight and portability to bring along to lectures/tutorials/labs. The Air has enough processing power to sustain every assignment he had throughout the entire degree.
His general advice (for all users not just devs), is to get an SSD at least for the system disk. He did say he would have bought a tower to make everything easier for himself during uni.
