2015 Computing Aging

OutdatedCurrent

• Laptops will increase in proportion to desktops

• Tablets still not mature enough to replace a PC or Laptop

• Apple systems:• Require approximately twice the support time PCs do• Do not integrate well into centralized IT management• Will always be a need for some Apple systems where

PC cannot do the job• Many people want Apples because it is there personal

preference, not because of student teaching needs

Observations

• Critical IT Investments• Improving network / internet speed/capacity• Computing security

• District Major Software Moving to the Cloud• Makes the distinction between computing platforms

irrelevant• Apple office cloud applications (iCloud) work on all

hardware platforms• i.e. NeoGov, TurnItIn, Student Application System, New On-

Line Learning Management System by Chancellor’s Office coming

Considerations

• New PC Desktops or Laptops for all faculty and staff, only exceptions will be for educational pedagogical needs, i.e. Apple application development.

• PC and Apple purchases will be base models.

• Departments must fund all costs above the base models.

• Previous use of a Mac, not a reason for getting a new Mac

• All exceptions to a standard PC Desktop or Laptop will require an ITG appeal.

Recommendation

Standard PC• Standard Features• 8 GB RAM• 128 GB SSD Drive• Monitor

• Laptops Include• 1 Docking Station with

power supply• 1 Additional Power

Supply

Standard Mac• Standard Features• 8 GB RAM• 128 GB SSD Drive• Monitor

• Desktop• iMac 21.5in

• Laptop• MacBook Pro 13 in

Recommendation

Accessories that need to be funded by departments:• Cases (hard cases, briefcases, etc.)• Non-Default Software, i.e., Dragon Speak• Speakers• Custom mice / keyboards• USB Cameras• 2nd / Additional monitors • Ergo monitor stands• Other accessories
