Every Ironhacker needs their own computer, but you don't need the latest iMac to get the job done!
For our Data Science & Machine Learning Bootcamp, you'll need:
-Processor: A modern multi-core CPU (e.g., Intel i5 or higher, AMD Ryzen 5 or higher).
-RAM: At least 8GB (16GB or more is preferable for larger machine learning projects).
-Storage: A solid-state drive (SSD) with a adequate storage. We recommend a minimum of 50GB but 256GB for faster data access.
-GPU: Since you'll be using TensorFlow, if your computer is GPU-enabled, NVIDIA recommends GPUs with CUDA support. The specific CUDA architecture compatibility will depend on your deep learning models and libraries. It's advisable to have a GPU with CUDA 7.0 or higher.
Note: If you're using a device that doesn't belong to you (e.g., a company computer), you'll need to be granted full admin rights.
