Clarifying device descriptions

A number of different devices may be referred to as a "tablet". These include:

• 2-in-1 Windows computers, which are either foldable or detachable. Such devices may also be capable of running Linux.
• Apple iPads
• Android devices
• Other devices such as Kindle Fire.

Windows / Linux 2-in-1 computers

These must be purchased via IT by completing the Non-standard Computer purchase request form:

All other tablet device types

These are not purchased or supported by IT. They should be purchased by your local purchasing / admin team using normal methods such as a Science Warehouse requisition.

Please do not submit an IT ticket to request the purchase of any tablet device other than a Windows / Linux 2-in-1.
