Each UNT System campus is financially responsible for its computer purchases. UNT IT Governance Technical Architecture Group (TAG) sets the standards for these purchases. IT Shared Services and TAG work together to procure the best prices for standard hardware.
Although each institution purchases separately, the UNT System participates in bulk procurement so that the best prices are made available to each campus.
UNT System Regulation 06.2000 Personal Computer and Tablet Computer Standardization states that computer hardware purchases must follow a standard configuration. Departments needing hardware outside of the recommended configuration must complete an Exception Request unless the purchase is an authorized variance.
Dell Recommended Hardware
IT Shared Services recommends Dell computers. A Dell Premier site was created by Dell specifically for UNT System and its component institutions and offers our UNT System standard desktop and laptop configurations. These are minimum configurations, and the standards listed apply to all computer purchases. Please consult your local helpdesk for any items needed that are not listed on the site.
Visit the UNT System Network Managers Dell Premier website.

Quotes for Apple desktops, laptops, and tablets can be found at the Apple E-Commerce website.
