Why?
- New software and operating system updates and versions often require better processing power, memory and storage to take advantage of new features.
- Computer components start to deteriorate with the life of the computer due to heat and other environmental factors. Cooling fans start to fail causing other components to eventually fail.
- Faster boot up times
- Greater productivity due to increased speed of operation
- Reliability
- Warranty for any issues
- Ability to use new software and hardware features
Please follow the steps below for ordering a new computing device (PC, tablet, laptop, etc.) and accessories.
- Please use the "New Computer Request Form" link at the bottom of this section to order a new computer.
- When the computer is delivered to your department, please add it to your departmental inventory.
- Please bring it to the Information Technology (IT) office in CLB 113 for set-up and general install. When the machine is delivered to us, a liability form will need to be completed prior to IT working on the machine.
- Upon completion of install and set-up, a helpdesk ticket email will be sent notifying that the machine is ready.
- We will schedule a time with the end user to deliver the machine so a technician can configure Outlook to complete the set-up process.
