Some study programmes require a laptop with specific computing power. Below is a list provided by the study programmes themselves, offering guidance on suitable laptop models. Looking for advice on the best device for a specific master’s programme? Then get in touch with us!

To keep competition sharp and prices low, we ask all A-brand manufacturers to present their offers every year. This offer is exclusively for UT students (direct resale is not permitted).

The quality of a laptop is very important. Robustness and durability are important characteristics we value. Laptops are often tested according to military requirements.

The laptops offered are tested by the Service Desk ICT, with a focus on calculation capacity, graphics performance, memory and storage, and overall performance. 

The offered devices are equipped with the latest wireless technology to meet the campus network requirements. Of course, it must contain enough memory, storage, etc.

Software

You can rely on the laptop to perform well with all the software (combinations) you need for your studies. It can run many software packages at the same time. Many of those software installations need their own specific licenses. The Service Desk ICT puts a lot of effort into making “images” and installation software for the selected devices. Such an image or software package can be installed on the laptop quickly without requiring the removal of personal data. This is also a very important reason for acquiring a laptop selected by UT.

Download software

As a UT student, you can download software (packages) via the Software Manager of the Service Desk ICT. Even if you have not purchased a laptop through UT, you can download software there. 

Note: Microsoft Office 365 is not available through the Software Manager; you can download it through the Office Portal using your UT email address. Questions? Visit the page with the FAQ on Microsoft Office 365.

The software packages are made available specifically for education (based on your login credentials). Per package we provided information for which Operating System the package is suitable.

The Service Desk ICT is open on working days from Monday to Friday, between 08.30 and 17.00 hours and is located in the Citadel building. Students who encounter problems with their devices are welcome here, and we will take a look at the problem (Best effort) and hopefully come up with a suitable solution.

If your device has a hardware-related issue and it was not bought through our laptop project, we can still give you a good recommendation on which steps to take to get the problem solved. However, if your laptop is bought through our laptop project and is still under warranty and is encountering a hardware-related problem, we will take care of the repair for you.

OUTSTANDING services 

Students who bought a device through our laptop project and encounter (hardware) problems can visit the Service Desk ICT (in the Citadel building) to find a solution. 

If the device is still under warranty. We will contact the supplier and arrange a repair for you. In case your laptop has been dropped or suffered liquid damage, and you also purchased insurance during the order process, we can also make sure the device gets repaired. 

If you did not buy this insurance, we cannot accept your device due to the costs involved in the repair. In that case, you need to file a repair request with the manufacturer, and you are then responsible for completing the repair yourself. 

Clean installation

You can also get a new, clean installation at the Service Desk ICT if you bought a device through the UT laptop project. Such an installation will take about five minutes. If you want to use this service, make sure you have made a backup because the disk will be erased.

You benefit from a three-year manufacturer's warranty. It covers defects that are not caused by external circumstances. During the ordering process, you can choose to purchase manufacturer insurance to cover damage from falls and liquids.

If your problem is not covered by the three-year warranty or your insurance, you will have to pay the repair costs yourself. The Laptop project is always willing to investigate your issue and help to solve it.

Should you choose to stop studying at the University of Twente, you will not lose your warranty and possible insurance, as these will be handled by the manufacturer.

It is not possible to change the default configuration during the ordering process. The offered setup is fixed and cannot be modified at the time of purchase.

However, you can order additional accessories separately via the order portal. The ICT Service Desk can assist you in installing these components into your laptop. Please note that this website is only available when the laptop project is active.

Please note:

If you choose to upgrade a component that requires replacing existing parts — for example, swapping the standard 2×16GB (dual-channel) memory for 2×32GB (dual-channel) — the original parts (2×16GB) cannot be refunded. You may, however, choose to resell them yourself.

Important technical note:

The 1TB NVMe drive only fits in the secondary slot of the High-end model.

The laptops come with dual-channel memory by default. If upgrading to 32GB modules, you’ll need to install 2×32GB (dual-channel) modules — a single 32GB module will not change anything about the default configuration besides cancelling out the benefits of using dual-channel.

Important note: The standard model supports up to 32 GB of dual-channel memory. It is not possible to upgrade this by replacing the built-in 2×16 GB modules with 2×32 GB. The upgrade option described above applies only to the high-end model.

The ADP (accidental damage protection) is offered as an option on the ordering portal. It's useful to mention that it is highly recommended.

HP and other manufacturers use the term "AI PC" not only for systems with an NPU, but also for PCs that:

• Support AI features via software (such as Windows Copilot, Studio Effects, etc.).
• Can perform AI tasks in the cloud, with support from the CPU and GPU.
• Are prepared for future AI integrations, even if they don't yet have an NPU.

The "standard" model does not have a NPU implemented (AMD Ryzen 5 220), the "high-end" model does have a dedicated NPU (Intel® Core Ultra 7 255H processor, with up to 13 TOPS NPU)

No, only students at the University of Twente with a valid student account can order these laptops.
