Due to this, as indicated in the CPU section of the Laptop Requirements Specification, the School of Computer Science recommends that students do not purchase new Apple computers employing the M1 chipset. The M1 Apple computers offer excellent performance and battery life, but because of this limitation, you will not be able to run the virtualization software required by some of your SCS courses.
Most hand-held devices such as phones and tablets based on Android or iOSĪlso, recent Apple computers, (those manufactured after November 2020) using the new ARM-based M1 chipset use virtualization that is not yet supported by most hypervisors (such as VirtualBox, VMware, KVM, etc). Some Intel and AMD chipsets for lower-end laptops and netbooks (You can check the BIOS to see if virtualization is available). There are many devices that do NOT support virtualization, including: The virtual operating system term is synonymous with other terms such as Virtual Machine, VM and instanceĭevices that do not support virtualization and Apple devices using the M1 chipset guest – a virtual operating system running within the hypervisor on your host computer. host – the computer on which you are running the hypervisor application. hypervisor – the virtualization application (such as VirtualBox or VMware) running on your host computer that allows it to run a guest virtual operating system. virtualization – the underlying technology that allows a virtual operating system to be run as an application on your computer’s operating system. Given this, it is required that you have access to a personal computing device which supports virtualization, while completing your program in the SCS. Many courses offered by the School of Computer Science, especially undergraduate courses rely heavily on Virtual Machines and other forms of virtualization.
