Abstract
The Department of Scandinavian Studies seeks funding to replace three older laptops with seven new HP ProBook laptops for graduate students to checkout and use. Department graduate students uses these machines for teaching undergraduate courses in language and in serving as large-lecture TAs in undergraduate courses. The current supply of laptops are three Dell laptops from 2012. They are no longer able to run at a capacity needed by our students and cannot be sufficiently upgraded to meet these needs. We propose the purchase of seven HP ProBook laptops @ $935/ea ($6545), seven Belkin docking stations @ $94/ea ($658), and seven Kensington laptop locks @ $34/ea ($238). The total purchase amount proposed is $7441 plus tax to come to a total request of $8,192.54.
