The Department of Justice and Equality provides centralised IT services to approximately 1,800 users in the Department and 26 offices/agencies on the IT Shared Service. Official records indicate that 179 laptops and 3 tablet devices are classified as "in use". Upgrading takes place as required and subject to a stated business need. It is therefore not possible to indicate the number of laptops that are due to be upgraded in 2012.
