CTD Approved Hardware List

Jarett Fong
  • Updated

Note: Due to global manufacturing shortages and extreme shipping delays, we highly recommend getting any technology orders started as much in advance as possible. If you have any questions, issues with the links below seeming out of date, or any issues with pricing or vendor options, please let us know and we will give you real-time recommendations based on what is available today. 

The following list of approved hardware has been curated by CTD with standardization, cost, security, and compatibility in mind. It is critical that organizations purchase hardware from this approved list, as all items have been tested and vetted for our setup.

If you need to purchase hardware not included on this list (i.e. choosing a computer for a specialized role, such as a graphic designer who needs a more powerful machine, etc.), please reach out to the Helpdesk prior to purchase so we can assist in confirming its supportability. Not all vendors, PCs, docks, etc. are created equal, and it's important to your organization's budget and security to keep things standardized.

Computers

For laptop computers we recommend Microsoft Surface Laptops, Surface Pros, Surface Gos, and Dell Latitudes, as well as their corresponding compatible docking stations. For graphic power users, we recommend Dell Precision Mobile Workstations. 

For desktop computers we recommend the Dell OptiPlex line (DisplayPort and HDMI only – VGA port may be added when ordering for compatibility with older monitors).

If you need to purchase new computers, please send a ticket to the CTD Help Desk and we will assist.
