Standard Computer Configurations from ITS
What's the difference between Standard and Enhanced?
A standard computer is a standard replacement computer and is the recommended computer for general use. A standard computer can be purchased as part of the computer replacement process with no additional fees.
An enhanced computer requires additional configuration. Enhanced computers can be purchased as part of the computer replacement process, but will require additional funds to purchase. See Office Computer Replacement for more information.
Lab computers are purchased for computer labs (rooms designated as Computer Labs). Lab computers are more robust than the Standard computers. Lab computers are purchased as part of the computer replacement process with no additional fees.
