Technology Consultation and Purchasing

There doesn't seem to be a 'one size fits all' when it comes to laptops, desktops, and tablets. We can help you determine the best equipment for your needs. Please use the contact link on the right to set up a consultation ticket.

Some questions to consider when making a technology purchase:

General computing

  • Will you be travelling or working from home regularly? 
  • Laptop size and features (extended keyboard, hdmi out)
  • Will you need a docking station and external monitors/keyboard?

Research computing

  • What type of computing will this device need to do? Will you need extra GPU support?
  •  How much data will be produced or need to be stored?
