Hardware recommendations
Due to ongoing supply chain constraints, device pricing may fluctuate and availability can impact order timing, including potential delays and/or cancelations. Quoted prices reflect current vendor conditions.
What are hardware recommendations?
Purchasing a UCLA Health computer through DGIT ensures you get a device that meets both your needs and our technical standards, all at a great price.
Our team curates a list of approved desktops, laptops, and printers based on what works best in our environment and negotiated pricing. Not sure what to choose or need something different? We’re happy to help with a consultation.
We don’t just find you the right device; we also make purchasing easier by configuring and setting up the deice before delivery, so it’s ready to use on day one. Desktop Support will then work with you to finalize setup and ensure everything meets your needs.
How to make a purchase
Order your devices, software, or peripherals all on the DGIT Computer Hardware/Software Order form or the Procurement Portal (for those in a department enrolled in the service). Use the same form for bulk orders or when ordering for someone else on your team.

FAQs
I work in a clinical area. Can I purchase from DGIT and this list?
Hospital and clinical staff are supported under ISS and should purchase directly from the Computer Hardware/Software Order form with the options provided by ISS. Note, there are few clinics that are still supported by DGIT. If you are unsure where to purchase from, please contact your BRM.
I need my purchase soon. How can I expedite my purchase?
Purchasing a device from our hardware recommendations is the best option for an expedited order. We also strongly recommend checking and reading through emails from our team to continue moving the purchase order along.
Can I just purchase a device on my own?
Please avoid purchasing a device outside of DGIT. While it may seem easier to purchase a device through a retailer, these devices will fail to meet our security and technological requirements and be unusable within our environment. To avoid headaches or back-and-forth on your end, we ask that you purchase through the Computer Hardware/Software Order form and, if possible, choose from the recommended devices on this page.
Can I purchase a personal device through DGIT?
No, we only purchase departmental/UCLA Health owned devices. This includes devices that are up for departmental reimbursement as they will be seen as a personal device.
To ensure your device can connect to our network, we strongly encourage reviewing our Computing Requirements page prior to making any purchase.
I am a resident with a negotiated fund. How do I purchase a computer?
Items purchased with this fund will be the property of the resident, including computer hardware and software. Computers purchased with this fund are exempt from standard policy, thus DGIT will not be involved in their procurement, set-up, or ongoing management. Residents should make a direct purchase on their own, making sure to consult their department regarding their purchasing and/or reimbursement policies beforehand.
For computers, there are no restrictions on what you can buy, but we strongly encourage reviewing our Computing Requirements page prior to making any purchase.
