Purchasing Supported Computing Hardware
Information Technology (IT) works with the NDSU Bookstore to facilitate computer configurations and purchasing options for NDSU employees/departments.
Order a computer through IT (NDSU employees/departments only)
Purchasing supported computer models provides robust functionality for most uses, improves service, and saves money by*:
- Full spectrum of IT support for the supported life of the hardware along with departmental consultation services in its use;
- Streamlining the research and order process;
- Utilizing hardware designed for long-life and commercial use (typical);
- Applying the largest discounts available to NDSU through contract buying;
- Allowing IT to inventory hardware rather than individuals or through the department
- Coordinate installation and setup specifics. Common hardware allows for quicker and more consistent installations that are schedule-able;
- Enhancing support through a common hardware base.
Computer prices below are subject to change without notice. Once an order is placed your department will receive an IDB (inter-departmental bill) from the Bookstore with the latest prices.
*Please note, IT only supports computers for employee/department purchases, not for student or personal use.
