Standard A&A workstations and laptops:

Our standard workstation, running Windows 10 Enterprise (64 bit) is based on the following HP models:

Standard Tower Workstation – HP Z2 G5

Standard Desktop Workstation – HP Z2 G5

Our standard laptop, running Windows 10 Enterprise (64 bit) is based on the following Lenovo model:

Standard laptop – Lenovo ThinkPad “T” Series

NOTE: These standard hardware models can also be configured to run a standard Linux distribution (such as Ubuntu) as this Linux distribution comes with all of the necessary drivers to run these systems without the need for added configuration. Additionally, standard Ubuntu (currently version 20.04) operates more like a user-oriented desktop/laptop OS in terms of set up and operation than earlier Linux distributions.

Any other systems (such as Macintosh (MacOS) and higher end/special purpose systems (with more computing power or highly specialized OS/Application configurations)) can be configured as required by a business and/or research need. Please contact aatech@uw.edu if you need any assistance with your computing systems.
