Preferred Hardware (ITS Required)
Information Technology (IT) works with the NDSU Bookstore to facilitate HP computer configurations and purchase options for NDSU employees/departments.
Order a computer through IT (NDSU employees/departments only)
Why buy a preferred PC through IT
*Please note, IT only supports computers for employee/department purchases, not for personal/student purchases.
The preferred models provide robust and powerful computers for most uses, improve service and save money by:
- Streamlining ordering and saving time and money spent researching all the options available
- Work with the Bookstore to achieve faster delivery times
- Allowing IT to inventory your standard computer hardware for you, and start the ticket for setup
- Enhancing support through a common hardware base
- IT is able to leverage the common hardware to provide faster and more consistent installations
- The systems will be delivered direct to IT for faster setup
CD-DVD-RW drives are no longer standard. With the move away from CD drives by the manufacturer, ITS recommends departments purchase and keep an external CD drive for common use among department members.
