PCs and Notebook Computers

The computers available at big-box stores and mass-market retailers are designed to hit low price points. Consequently, they tend to be of generally poor quality and have limited capabilities.

We recommend laptops, notebooks and desktop computers from HP, Inc. for their cost-effectiveness, quality, reliability and supportability. Also, If you buy a specific HP model with a specific HP part number, you can be rest assured that if you buy additional units they will be exactly identical as the previous ones you bought. This is not the case for other PC vendors some of whom use a unique “service tag” for each system. Service tags mean that you may or may not get the same components in the system when you buy the same model at different times.

CONCIERGE SERVICE
There are so many options for commercial-grade personal computers these days that it pays to take advantage of our concierge-style procurement services. First we try to understand the needs of each user. Questions we ask include:
1. How many hours a day will the user be on the system?
2. Does the user need portability?
3. Will the system be used primarily to access cloud applications?
4. Will it be running engineering or CAD applications.?
