Hardware Standards

Policies

The following guidelines for standards are based on current technology available combined with the current needs of our end-users. The primary considerations for each configuration (desktop, printing, portable computing) are:

• Ease of connectivity to the college network
• Consistent performance of all integrated components in our network environment
• Industry leader with an established track record in manufacturing, sales and service
• Successful in-house experience with the chosen products and configurations
• Serviceability by CCNY Tech, our Hardware Repair Service Provider
• Minimum campus lifetime of four years
• Hamilton recommends laptop computers for individuals' computing needs 

Below are the configurations* for new replacement computers for the year 2024-2025:
