Standard IT equipment
We offer the following standard hardware to our staff:
- Linux desktop computer: e.g. Esprimo Q958 with 8-Core Intel i7
- Mac desktop computer: e.g. Mac Mini with 6-Core Intel i5 or Apple Silicon
- Linux laptop computer: e.g. ThinkPad X1 Yoga, ev. ThinkPad X1 Carbon; or a Laptop that is up to 4 years old
- Mac laptop computer: e.g. MacBook Pro 14″ with Apple Silicon; or a MacBook Pro that is up to 4 years old
Additionally you can get 1 screen (EIZO 24″ or 27″) (upon request 2, if supported by the hardware) and a docking station and some adaptors if you have a laptop.
You can get a desktop computer more or less immediately (1-2 days). New laptops are usually ordered during the Neptun period, ie. 2 times a year (middle of February – middle of March and September). They have a delivery time of 6-10 weeks (or even longer).
If you decide to have a laptop computer and we don’t have one in stock, you can start with a desktop computer and change later or you can use your private laptop computer until the one provided by the department has arrived.
We have an order form for laptops with the rules for laptops provided by D-MATH: https://blogs.ethz.ch/isgdmath/laptop-order/
