ICTS laptop recommendations
If you're struggling to choose a new laptop, check out this shortlist of ICTS's recommended laptops – all of which are available to UCT staff members at discounted prices.
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.
These standard laptop options have been carefully selected by ICTS Acquisitions Services to provide the best balance of price, performance and reliability. Selecting one of these models generally means a quicker ordering process and turnaround time than ordering a custom configuration. If you require a laptop that is not included in this list, an IT purchasing consultant can assist you in sourcing an alternative model.
To place an order, please contact ICTS Acquisitions Services by email at icts-acquisitions@uct.ac.za or phone 021 650 1705.
