Laptop/PC: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:49, 25 August 2015

There is a budget within the project for equipment of a PhD . The amount depends on the project. In terms of equipment selection one is quite free to choose what they want : laptop , pc, macbook etc.. However the final equipment choice must be approved by the supervisor. It could be that there are extreme hardware requirements for the project, and then a laptop does not comply. But this fact does not occur often, in most cases laptops are sufficient today, and if one needs to do an occasionally big calculation then she/he can use the big machine 'dagobert' with many cores and memory.

If the PhD student wants a computer, then there is an affordable PC configuration at our standard PC supplier scholten awaters :

       website: www.sa.nl
       loginnaam:  run15854
       wachtwoord: ********  (ask support staff)
       email: offerte@sa.nl

When you log in you can see the current default PC configuration of the Radboud University.

There are also PhD students when they start already have a good laptop, and they postpone orderding hardware until a year has passed. The advantage is that at the end of their PhD contract they still have a younger laptop , because four years is quite long for a laptop.

So I suggest that the PhD comes with a proposal for equipment. I ask for an official order at our standard supplier, and if this is not much more expensive then the supplier where he found the equipment, we order it at www.sa.nl, otherwise at the original supplier. Unlike the other supplier www.sa.nl has the advantage that they also do repairs on many laptop brands, so in case of problems we don't have to deal with a another party.
