Introduction
LAITS determines Minimum Computer Hardware Standards (this link needs updates) and provides Recommended Models. Additionally, we offer a list of Optional Accessories.
For Printer Recommendations, see our LAITS Recommended Printers page.
Adhering to these Standards prevents the following issues:
Encryption Compliance: Ensures encryption is enabled, as required by the State, by including a TPM chip.
Efficiency: Reduces lead time for preparing non-standard computers.

Optional Accessories
Displays
There are many options for Dell monitors, however, these are the most popular and offer the most features and best displays available. HUB monitors will allow for a single USB-C cable connection (between laptop and monitor) to provide power to a laptop and audio/video. For most faculty/staff, there will be no need for a docking station with the purchase of a HUB monitor.
Note: Check ship times before ordering.

Note: Dual Displays with the Belkin Thunderbolt 2 Dock
To use dual displays, at least one must be Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 technology-ready. For displays that are not Thunderbolt technology-ready, the Thunderbolt port is backward compatible with Mini DisplayPort. The dock supports either HDMI or Mini DisplayPort, but not both simultaneously. We are working on another recommendation.
