Hardware Standards

NOTE: The hardware listed below is only available to our supported customers. If you work for an academic unit, please partner with your local IT support to purchase hardware. Orders from non-supported clients will be rejected.

OIT Desktop Support has standardized on the hardware listed below. These standards allow us to provide a higher level of service to our clients, as we are able to ensure compatibility and interoperability for everyone.

OIT supports both PC and Mac platforms, but some of our services are not yet available for Mac. To assist you in choosing which platform is right for you, visit our comparison page.

Computer Lifecycle Recommendations

A computer lifecycle is the process of purchasing, funding, installing, maintaining, and recycling of computer equipment and associated software. Following the OIT recommended computer lifecycle improves security, cuts down on loss of staff disruption time, and promotes a predictable maintenance cadence, lessening emergency work tickets for the Help Desk.

OIT Desktop Support Strongly Recommends the Following:

  • Computers dedicated to full-time staff: Replace every 4 years
  • Shared computers/labs/kiosks:  Replace every 5 years

All OIT-ordered and maintained computers have a 4-year hardware warranty. Computers past the warranty period will fall under “best effort” support. IT staff will try their best to troubleshoot any issues, but if hardware fails or the computer is too slow due to hardware, a replacement will be prescribed. 

How to Order

If you are interested in purchasing one of the below machines, monitors, or printers please go to the OIT Service Catalog to place an order or contact the OIT Help Desk via email at oit@uci.edu for a quote. Please specify how many of each system you plan on purchasing and provide a recharge number.

Windows Computers

For OIT-managed Windows laptops, you can now easily back up your Documents and Desktop folders to our servers even when you are on the go. If you are on campus and connected via an ethernet cable, backups are automatic.
