Dear Students,
Below, are special offers from Lenovo and Mac. Please take into consideration that buying through them may not be the cheaper option. So, keep Google open, and use our specs to determine the right laptop for you. Happy hunting!
Note: Support on campus can be somewhat slow at times due to the overwhelming demand of repairs, and the short handedness of skilled technicians on campus. We're just as new to this as you are. If you feel you are not getting adequete support from the Computing Center, please let someone know immediately.
