+# IT Services
+
+:::caution[Historical information]
+This information originated in the previous wiki and may be outdated. The instructions below are retained for reference only. Verify EleUM, `unimaas.nl` accounts, MyUM navigation, 2016–2017 timetable information, VPN access, printing, service-desk hours, and every contact detail with Maastricht University before relying on them.
+:::
+
+The previous wiki asked students to keep this page updated. If an old how-to does not work, consult current Maastricht University ICT documentation and notify Incognito.
+
+## Manuals for UM ICT services
+
+The previous wiki linked to [manuals for UM ICT services](https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/support/ict-services/manuals). Verify that it covers the service you need.
+
+## Problems with UM ICT services
+
+The following historical service-desk information must be verified before use.
+
+The ICTS Service Desk was open Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 12:30 and from 13:00 to 16:30.
+
+ICTS could help with:
+
+- Login problems with University services such as eduroam, the Student Portal, EleUM, MyTimetable, VPN, and remote access.
+- Being unable to get on Wi-Fi (although it could not help if the issue was with your device).
+- Software issues with software provided by ICTS.
+- In general, services provided by ICTS.
+
+ICTS could not help with:
+
+- Problems with Word, PowerPoint, or similar software.
+- Lost files.
+- Defective devices.
+- Other problems with software, hardware, or services that were not provided by ICTS.
+
+Historical contact details — verify before use:
+
+- Phone: +31 43 388 55 55
+- Email: `servicedesk-icts@maastrichtuniversity.nl`
+
+The ICTS Service Desk Inner City was said to be on the right when entering the inner-city library. [View the historical location on Google Maps](https://www.google.nl/maps/place/Grote+Looiersstraat+17,+6211+JH+Maastricht/).
+
+The previous wiki also stated that an ICTS Service Desk Randwyck location could be found somewhere, but that DKE students did not visit Randwyck often.
+
+## Getting on the University Wi-Fi (eduroam)
+
+The historical instructions below must be verified against current UM guidance:
+
+1. Select eduroam.
+2. Enter your username with `@unimaas.nl` added, for example `i********@unimaas.nl`.
+3. Enter your password.
+4. Connect.
+
+If this did not work, the previous wiki advised checking the following settings:
+
+- EAP method: PEAP
+- Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPv2
+
+**Warning:** Do not use the University network for illegal purposes. By using the network, you accept the rules and regulations in effect. The previous wiki gave torrent downloads as an example that could lead to account suspension. Verify the current rules and consequences with UM.
+
+## Where can I find my schedules and other information?
+
+Most course information was said to be available on EleUM, the Electronic Learning Environment from Maastricht University, through the Student Portal. The historical navigation was:
+
+1. Go to the [Student Portal](https://studentportal.maastrichtuniversity.nl/) (previously `https://eleum.unimaas.nl`).
+2. Go to Organisations.
+3. Go to DKE Students.
+4. Go to Schedules.
+
+If a schedule was not available, the previous wiki advised waiting and contacting the Education Office. Both the navigation and contact route must be verified.
+
+The statement that DKE would begin using `timetable.maastrichtuniversity.nl` in 2016–2017, with calendar export, is historical and must be verified.
+
+## Where can I find my grades?
+
+The previous wiki instructed students to find grades and ECTS in `myum.unimaas.nl` through **Courses → Academic Work**. This MyUM navigation is historical and must be verified.
+
+## How do I enrol in my courses?
+
+The previous wiki instructed students to enrol through `myum.unimaas.nl` using **Courses → Course Registration**, then selecting their study and academic period. It advised contacting Bureau Onderwijs (the Education Office) at `bo-dke@maastrichtuniversity.nl` for help. This navigation and contact detail must be verified.
+
+For exam-only registration, such as after failing an exam in the previous year, the previous wiki instructed students to use **MyUM → Exams → Exam Registration** and gave the same Education Office contact. Verify both before use.
+
+## Remote use of University computers
+
+The previous wiki described Student Desktop Anywhere for accessing personal files on the University network or software not installed on your personal computer, such as MATLAB and LaTeX. It linked to [Student Desktop Anywhere](https://maastrichtuniversity.nl/anywhere). Verify the service’s availability before use.
+
+## Get on the University network via a VPN connection
+
+The previous wiki described Cisco AnyConnect and gave Google Scholar as an example of a service with more results from a University IP address. Its historical VPN URL was `https://vpn.maastrichtuniversity.nl`; verify it before use.
+
+**Warning:** Do not use the University network for illegal purposes. By using the network, you accept the rules and regulations in effect. The previous wiki gave torrent downloads as an example that could lead to account suspension. Verify the current rules and consequences with UM.
+
+## Print to University printers from your own laptop
+
+The previous wiki directed students to [its printing URL](https://myprint.maastrichtuniversity.nl/) for printing instructions and to add money to a printing account. Verify the current process before use.

+title: Laptop Buying Advice
+description: Historical laptop-buying guidance for DKE students.

+
+# Laptop Buying Advice
+
+:::caution[Historical information]
+This information originated in the previous wiki and may be outdated. Prices, Windows versions, hardware capacities, and processor availability below are historical and must be verified before making a purchase.
+:::
+
+MSV Incognito often received questions from prospective students about the hardware required to follow a programme in our studies. To streamline things, we created this short page.
+
+## Is a laptop required?
+
+Having a laptop is required for computer labs in certain courses. It is also very handy for group projects. You will need a laptop to write, compile, and run Java, Python, and C code. This will, of course, take longer on low-end laptops.
+
+Guidelines from the previous wiki:
+
+- No Chromebook. The laptop must run Windows, Linux, or macOS. This guide only covers Windows laptops, because that is what companies sell and new MacBooks are generally powerful enough anyway.
+- AMD Ryzen or modern Intel processors are both fine. Please note that AMD Ryzen CPUs were only recently becoming available in laptops when this guidance was written.
+- A 15.6-inch laptop is the most commonly used size. A 14-inch laptop is still fine, depending on your preferences, but anything smaller can make it difficult to type a lot of code (keyboard size) and read code (screen size and resolution). Seventeen-inch laptops are rather large to transport. However, this is down to personal preference.
+- Make sure you get a laptop with the keyboard layout you are used to: probably QWERTY for Dutch students, QWERTZ for Germans, AZERTY for French and some Belgian students.
+
+## Laptop tiers
+
+To be blunt: everything that could run Windows 10 or a recent Linux variant properly should suffice. In theory, you could manage your studies on a laptop with a low-power Intel or AMD processor, 2 GB RAM, and 16 GB flash memory. But that would lead to annoyances and is not something we recommend. On the other hand, everything would also run on a laptop with a high-end multi-core AMD or Intel processor, 32 GB RAM, and a 1 TB SSD. Depending on your budget, you could even add a dedicated graphics card.
+
+The prices below are historical indications. Many other factors, such as screen quality, battery life, and build quality, influence the price. There are many websites that provide quality reviews to inform you about specific laptop models. Consider finding the right laptop as a small precursor to doing academic research for the projects during your studies.
+
+### Approximately €200
+
+This is the “it runs” category: the territory of an Intel Atom or Celeron processor, 2 GB RAM, and 16 GB storage. We do not recommend this, but as long as it runs Windows or Linux, it is technically possible to finish the tasks required for the study.
+
+### Approximately €400
+
+This territory is suitable for a student with a limited budget. Laptops with a recent Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 3, 4 GB RAM, and a 128 GB SSD were available.
+
+### Approximately €600
+
+The best price-to-performance ratio was around this price range. A recent Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5, 8 GB RAM, and a 256 GB SSD was a good laptop configuration and would run anything required for your studies without problems.
+
+### Approximately €800
+
+If you had a bigger budget, a laptop with a recent Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7, 8 GB RAM, and a 256 GB SSD would give a minor speed boost over the previous tier. This was also the range where laptops gained something resembling gaming-capable graphics cards.
+
+### Gaming
+
+If you wanted your laptop to run games beyond League of Legends or other light games, the options generally started around €900. There were laptops in that category with an AMD or Nvidia GPU capable of running most games. Medium- and high-end gaming laptops were €1,000–€3,000. However, that is outside the scope of this page, since it is not needed for your studies.
