Recommended Dell Systems

We have recommended configurations of Dell systems that address the common use cases within the SCS community. Please consider any special requirements in terms of CPU performance, storage capacity or memory requirements of specialized software or intended use. Some flexibility is possible regarding memory and storage in our configurations.

Please ensure your requested configuration considers your usage, storage and performance requirements as many computers now have permanent, soldered-in memory, storage and/or CPU components and it may not be possible to upgrade later-on. 

If you are ready to order this equipment, proceed to our online purchasing application.

If you have questions regarding configuration and specs, we are happy to provide consulting. Please request consulting and let us know what questions or concerns you have regarding your selected computer.

Warranty Considerations

SCSCF desktop computing technical staff are vendor certified to make hardware repairs on Apple, Dell and Lenovo equipment. This allows us to order parts for advance replacement and perform repairs on site.

We highly encourage that all equipment be purchased with a minimum of 4 years of warranty coverage.

Dell laptops can be purchased with Accidental Damage Service which covers:

• Liquid spilled on or in unit
• Drops, falls, and other collisions
• Electrical surge
• Damaged or broken LCD due to a drop or fall

• Damage due to fire
• Intentional damage (such as hammer marks)
• Normal wear
• Cosmetic damage
• Consumable parts (ex. bulbs, toner)
• Theft

Without Accidental Damage Service, you will be responsible for the cost of the repair for these items regardless of warranty. For more information visit, Dell's coverage website.
