Built around what your syllabus actually assigns
Every plan launches from a template with the right software already installed — pick a use case below to see which plan fits.
CAD & engineering design
Rendering and orbiting large assemblies is unusable on integrated graphics. Our GPU plans give you a dedicated vGPU slice so CAD software runs the way your professor demoed it.
GIS & spatial analysis
GIS coursework means large raster datasets and heavy processing. GPU Student and GPU Pro plans ship with QGIS preinstalled and enough RAM to keep large shapefiles from crawling.
Windows-only coursework software
If your program requires Windows and you have a Mac or Chromebook, a CPU Student VM gets you a full Windows 11 desktop in the browser — no dual-boot, no Bootcamp.
Data science & machine learning
Training a model on a laptop CPU can take hours. Our GPU plans come with CUDA and the major frameworks preinstalled so you can start training instead of configuring drivers.
Video editing & rendering
Export renders in minutes instead of overnight. GPU-accelerated encoding means your laptop's fan never has to know.
General coursework & note-taking
Even the CPU Starter plan is a full, fast desktop for everyday classwork — useful if your current laptop is simply old, slow, or has a failing battery.
Don't see your software?
Any Windows or Linux desktop app can be installed on your VM once it's running — templates just save you the setup time for the most common programs. Email support@staticcampus.example and we'll build a custom template for your program if enough students need it.
