ICTS laptop recommendations

When you need a new laptop, it can be difficult to sift through the plethora of choices, especially when there are so many variations of specifications. 

• What kind of processor do you need?
• How much memory is enough to ensure a smooth performance?
• What kind of hard drive is needed, and what capacity is enough for you?

These are just some of the factors to consider, along with the all-important question of price.

To make things easier for you, we’ve drawn up a list of recommended laptops – all of which are available to UCT staff members at discounted prices.

NOTE:
Laptops purchased through ICTS are for UCT use only. For personal purchases, please work through your preferred retail channels.
