Overview
- Any computer equipment purchase on university funds (including research/grant funding) should be vetted through ASCTech before purchase.
- ASCTech is happy to consult, configure, and place orders for computers and accessories.
- ASCTech does all purchasing on computer hardware with data: desktops, laptops, tablets.
- This will ensure equipment is inventoried, configured, and managed to University requirements prior to usage.
- Lenovo and Apple are our main vendors, not all models are OSU product lines. Please see below.
- NOTE: Not all computers sold by OSU Buckeye Buy Workday suppliers are able to meet University requirements.
- We try to keep pricing up to date, but vendors can change prices before we can update.

Accessories / Printers
Please reach out to ASCTech for assistance with any accessories needed for the new computer, such as monitors, USB-C port replicators, cameras, docking stations, etc.
Printers
ASCTech does not have standard printers.
- ASCTech encourages Follow Me Printing to the unit Xerox machines. https://uniprint.osu.edu/follow-me-printing
- ASCTech encourages reaching out to your unit’s ASCTech contact if you want guidance as to what is compatible.
- In Workday hardware approvers only do a basic check that the printer has Ethernet and doesn't have major red flags like requiring a web account (HP e series).
- Thus we assume the non-ASCTech requestor has done research or contacted ASCTech.
- Your ASCTech unit lead can provide more information and recommendations.
- Networking:
- Printers must have a wired network port.
- Fallback for networking issues will be direct USB hookup.
- iPads can only print to Follow Me Print printers.
- ASCTech does not do maintenance on printers:

Standard laptops include accidental damage protection by default, but check with ASCTech - though it is included by default some people opt out of accidental damage or have us obtain custom quotes without. ASCTech does not recommend accidental damage on desktop machines.
Dell Warranty
All Dells include a ProSupport Plus warranty, since April 2024. Since late 2020: Standard laptops include accidental damage protection by default, but check with ASCTech - though it is included by default some people opt out of accidental damage or have us obtain custom quotes without. ASCTech does not recommend accidental damage on desktop machines.
Dell ExpressCharge batteries have a one year warranty.
