This document reflects our current minimum recommendations for Windows-based computers purchased for use by students, faculty, and staff at the University of Maryland. The intention is to recommend a system that will remain useful for the next few years. If you are interested in purchasing a new system, the University Book Center Computer Department sells Windows computers at a reduced rate.
Some students initially bring an older computer from home to the university.
Such systems are not considered to be useful for more than a year. For a list of the minimum requirements for such systems, click here . This page maintained by the Office of Information Technology Help Desk.
