CAS IT Recommended Standard Equipment

Note: specifications are subject to change

In 2025-2026 we will introduce a small selection of computing devices, aligned with UW standards, and supporting long-term sustainability and performance. When a new workstation is requested, CAS IT will confirm whether monitors or peripherals are needed at that time.

 

Below you will find more details on the devices we are standardizing on.
