2026 Sponsored Computer Replacement Options
Employees and departments may choose from the following Dell and Apple desktop and laptop configurations.
Please be aware that the Dell desktop computer Level 1 base model (PC - Level 1) is the only computer fully funded through the Computer Replacement initiative. All Apple computers and any Dell desktop or laptop computer with a cost above $902 will result in a departmental charge equal to the difference between the Level 1 base cost and the cost of the upgrade selected.

Eligibility of Facilities employees will be evaluated on an individual basis, based on job requirements. Exceptions are not granted.
