Body
ITS recognizes that different users have different needs and preferences in computer platforms and therefore offers both macOS and Microsoft Windows (Dell) computer options to faculty and staff.
Our standard model computers will meet the needs of most Middlebury employees. If you have unique computing needs or any questions, please contact the help desk to discuss which configuration is best suited for your work.
ITS currently provides a single 24" Lenovo monitor or a 24" Lenovo docking monitor for each employee. Please note that as we hand out our remaining supply of Lenovo monitors, we will be moving back to Dell docking and non-docking monitors.
