-====Ordering Laptops==== +We, as an organization, offer the opportunity to procure IT hardware that you may require for your work. This can vary from ordering USB flash drive to a high-end serverWhen ordering hardware, there are several things to keep in mind
-The best way to order laptop is to go onto the internet and decide what you want by using vendors configurations management system.  +
-  * Apple {{http://www.apple.com/mac/compare/|Macbooks}} +
-  * Lenovo {{http://shop.lenovo.com/nl/nl/laptops/?menu-id=laptops_en_ultrabooks|Ultrabooks}} +
-  * Dell {{http://www.dell.com/nl/bedrijven/p/laptops.aspx?c=nl&l=nl&s=bsd&~ck=mn|Laptops}} +
-  * HP {{http://store.hp.com/NetherlandsStore/Merch/List.aspx?sel=NTB&ctrl=f|Laptops}} +
-and email your favourite configuration to the above address together with the SAPnumber it should be booked on.+
  
-Because we have to buy equipment through EU-preferred vendors/suppliers through their business channelsdelivery times for consumer products may take somewhat longer than direct ordering (from websites or shops).+  * We work with specific suppliers, and it is not possible to deviate from this unless you have a very good reason to do so. You can discuss this with the Institute Manager.
  
-====Other equipment==== +  * Delivery times are longer than you might be used to, so please order well in advance to prevent any issuesWe will specify these delivery times for each product group so you know what to expect.
-Please try to be as specific as possible in the specifications of your required productIt is very difficult for us to know precisely what we have to order if you do not provide the necessary information. "Can you buy me an external USB disk for my project" won't do. We will ask back about the disk capacity (2 TB disk?) and about the type (single disk ar RAID1 configuration) and to what it should be connected (your desktop, your MacBook).+
  
-Note: delivery times for Apple equipment can be noticably longThis is because Apple service de consumer market in preference to the business market.+  * All hardware purchased through us remains property of Leiden University. This means that you must return the hardware when you leave the university for another job. The hardware needs to be brought back to us (HL406) and will be re-used by your group or elsewhere. There is no legal way to buy this equipment for personal use or take it home after the official depreciation period has past. 
 + 
 +  * You will receive a form that is related to the 'WKR-regeling' in which you declare that the equipment you bought using University finances is predominantly in use for you work and not for private use.

 +===== Ordering a laptop ===== 
 +{{:generic:laptops.jpg?200 |}} 
 +If you would like to order a laptop, it's best to take a look at the websites listed below. These are our suppliers and they offer a wide range of laptops. If a laptop is in stock, it will take approximately 1 or 2 weeks maximum to be delivered. If the laptop is not in stock it will take way longer! For BTO (Build to order) laptops delivery will take 1 or 2 months! And for new Apple models it will take even longer before the laptop will arrive at the university! So it is really important to reconsider your choice and decide if it is worth to wait or to go for an other model or brand.
