Ordering a Computer for University Use

ITS and University IT professionals have agreed upon standard configurations for both PCs and Apple devices. Standard devices will arrive ready to use.

Apple

Apple devices should be purchased through the technology supplier Connection. Standard device configurations can be found at the bottom of the landing page.

Standard devices are offered as a bundle with 3 years of AppleCare+ and will come with a university inventory tag (Note: All items in bundle must be added to the cart)

Windows

PCs should be purchased through Dell on HuskyBuy. Standard devices can be found on the landing page. All standard devices come with a university inventory tag.

Three times a year IT Professionals and fiscal officers are invited to purchase devices during a bulk buy period known as the PC Refresh. Volume discounts apply. More information can be found here: https://kb.uconn.edu/space/IKB/10853879237/University+PC+Refresh+Program

Devices that do not fall into the standard device offerings should be quoted by a sales rep from UConn’s technology suppliers. Contact information for CDW and Connection sales can be found on the respective HuskyBuy landing pages. Dell sales support: Seth.Wilson@dell.com

All standard devices will arrive enrolled in university device management systems. Apple devices are managed in JAMF and Windows devices are managed in Intune.

University standard is a 3 year device warranty. Dell warranties include next business day hardware support and accidental damage coverage. Apple devices include 3 years of AppleCare+ coverage. Devices ordered outside of the standards must have a warranty added to the order. Please work with a sales representative to add the warranty.

If a device is intended to be used by multiple people it must be configured as a shared device in the JAMF/Intune. Please contact your local IT support or the Technology Support Center prior to using the device.
