The labs and coursework offered during my classes were first class. We were actually given virtual machines hosted in the cloud to do all the lab processing, exam practices, and virtual hardware simulations. This allowed you to access and practice from anywhere. No beefy computer is needed on your part. However, I highly recommend having dual screens during the lectures. This way, you can watch the instructional video on one and follow along/take notes on the other.
