End User Support at the Gillings School
|
Due to the amount of faculty and staff currently working remotely, the End User Support (EUS) standard recommendation for computer purchases in Gillings is to purchase a single portable laptop or MacBook and NOT a desktop computer for each of their users. Using a portable device will provide the flexibility to use both in the office or remotely.
