Beginning in 2021, when Carleton employees receive new computers they will be issued laptops rather than desktops unless the employee specifically requests a desktop computer. Laptops will come with docks/stands, external monitors, keyboards, etc so that when employees are working at their desks they have sufficient screen real estate and better options for ergonomic working conditions.
