Laptop order

The following form is primary intended for new postdoctoral researchers and new doctoral students of D-MATH.

Note: the laptops are ordered via the Projekt Neptun and the next sales window is from 1 to 29 September 2025. However, for practical reasons, we only will accept orders until 25 September 2025.

Order request form

The operating system can be chosen between Fedora Linux (with a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 2-in-1) or macOS (with a MacBook Pro). The standard keyboard is a US keyboard (possibly US International), and requests for a CH keyboard will be fulfilled where possible.









    Rules:

    • all the postdoctoral researchers and doctoral students can get a laptop (with optional external screen and accessories) instead of a desktop computer (not both)

    • doctoral students should contact their supervisors about the choice of model / operating system (Fedora Linux or macOS)

    • the laptop belongs to ETH Zurich (as it is paid by D-MATH)

    • the laptop is managed and installed by ISG D-MATH, but you are allowed to install additional software (not a different operating system)

    • operating system updates must be installed as soon as they’re available (especially on macOS laptops)

    • the laptop should be handled with care

    • repairs etc. are handled by ISG D-MATH

    • you don’t necessarily get a new laptop, we use up to 4 year old laptops again

    • there is no backup of the data on a laptop unless you make a backup (we can help with that)

    • I have read the ETH Zurich Acceptable Use Policy for IT Resources (BOT)
