Thanks Mathieu, that’s really helpful. The compute power for the datasets being visualised will be making use of some kind of HPC, most likely.
There is currently some consideration of using Chromebooks for the course, does anyone on the mailing list have any experience of using these with ParaView?

ParaView hardware requirement are pretty basic, however it may grow depending on the data you want to handle and the type of operation you want to do on it. For a visualisation course, there is no reason to handle large dataset, so in this case basic requirement should suffice. CPU : Any kind of modern processor (lets say Core 2 Duo and after) RAM : 4Gb (must be able to open your dataset basically) 300 Mb of disk space Recommended : OpenGL 3.2 capable GPU (nVidia 100M / Intel HD400 and after, with updated drivers) So as you can see, it is not much.

A new course is planning to teach students to visualise data, and we need to look at the cost of the laptops needed to do this.
