Current standard desktop (Dell Optiplex) and portable (Dell Latitude) computers are always at KU Medical Center’s customized Dell Store. Faculty and staff who wish to browse current computers and peripherals in the Dell Store need a personalized login. To obtain a login, contact the Help Desk at 8-7995 and ask the agent for a Dell Shopper login. You may select, configure, and create an electronic price quotation for your system of choice; then work with your department administrator or purchaser to order it.
Optiplex and Latitude computers with standard configurations should meet the Windows platform needs of almost all KU Medical Center faculty and staff. If you have a unique need for which you cannot identify a suitable Optiplex or Latitude, contact the Assistant Director (of Networking) for Customer Support at 8-4807.
