    FY25 MAIE Communications Equipment Specs.xlsx
    This government document outlines the specifications and configurations for a computing module, likely part of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for procurement purposes. The main components include an Intel® Core™ i5-13600HX processor, 32GB of memory, and a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD, all housed within a thin chassis that lacks several common features such as a camera, microphone, and wireless LAN card. The document details various aspects such as operating system requirements, battery capacity, and the absence of certain software and drivers, pointing towards an emphasis on a simplified, streamlined system potentially intended for specific operational environments. Notably, the system is configured without Windows compatibility and lacks certain energy efficiency ratings, indicating it may not be the ideal choice for general consumer use. The proposal highlights service support under a 3-year ProSupport plan, demonstrating focus on reliability and service provision post-sale. Overall, the document serves to inform potential vendors about the specifications and limitations of the computing module needed for public sector use, aligning with federal and state procurement guidelines.
