    Hi there.

    Does anybody know if a macbook completely compatible with all the technical requirements for this course? I know the course outline advises against their use for the Commerce Degree.... but are any new students planning on using one or have anyone had any problems using one in the past?

    Cheers!

    I've used one all throughout my time in Quinn and have had literally zero issues.

    As long as the Laptop can run excel properly then it'll be more than adequate. You'll need Microsoft access for third year too so that's worth noting.

    Thank you, one more question, is a dvd drive necessary?

    Nah you'll be grand without one. One of the HP laptops that Quinn sells comes without one so they aren't necessary at all.

    We went to the Daedalus building in UCD and asked them about using the macbook for Commerce. They said it should be grand despite UCD website advising against.

    Worth noting that you can get a loan of a windows laptop each day at the Daedalus building beside AIB... if you don't own one.
