Computer Device and Printer Purchases for Staff and Faculty
ITS offers and supports standard configurations and models for new computer device purchases, which meet the majority of computing needs for faculty and staff in offices, labs, research facilities, and classrooms. Ideally, new computer purchases should be one of these configurations or models below. If these configurations do not meet your computing requirements, adjustments can be made for legitimate business purposes including but not limited to grant and research use. ITS can provide a quote to place the requisition in CSUBuy Procure-to-Pay in the supplier’s punchout listed under Information Technology (e.g. Dell, CDWG, B&H) with a chartfield. If a technology-related item is not listed on the recommended equipment and accessories page or to request a quote for a computer, laptop, tablet, printer or multi-function device (Lanier/Ricoh MFD), please submit a Help Desk ticket and select the topic "Technology Purchase and Quotes".
Warranty
ITS recommends Dell laptops and desktops include a 5-year warranty with onsite, next-business-day coverage. Accidental damage protection is required for Dell laptops and is bundled with Dell’s Pro-Support+ coverage. Apple devices are required to have a standard 4-year AppleCare+ warranty, which includes accidental damage protection for unlimited incidences. All Apple devices include device enrollment (DEP), which allows ITS to manage your Apple device. All other devices including printers would be covered by their standard manufacturer’s (HP, Lanier/Ricoh etc.) warranty.
Sustainability
ITS recommends hardware systems at Cal Poly Humboldt meet the EPEAT Gold rating, whenever possible. For more information, please visit the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) website. ITS can help assess products that meet this goal, and can help recommend a product that is not available with a Gold rating.
In an effort to be sustainable, used items, which still meet campus standards and are under a current warranty, are occasionally available from ITS. If you think a used item might meet your needs, please note that in your Help Desk ticket. Cascading, trickle-down, or repurposing of current hardware is highly discouraged and not recommended. Our approach is to refresh or replace computer devices over 5.5 years old and/or out of warranty with a new system. Refurbished units are not recommended, and do not meet sytems standards.
Time to Receive Purchases
Apple and Dell purchases typically take two to three weeks to arrive on campus. A number of factors impact the time of arrival (CPU or memory shortages, pre-built vs custom-built configurations, general availability of the market, global supply chain issues, weather events, etc.). An estimate of delivery date is available upon request.
