Buying a Personal Computer
Suggested Vendors
You may wish to consider purchasing a computer from Denison's primary
computer vendors: Apple and Dell. Denison's Information Technology
Services (ITS) department has more experience with these products and
there have been times when our contacts have helped members of our community get
through trouble with warranty support.
Both Apple and Dell offer academic (or better) pricing for most of their products to Denison faculty and staff:
If you are interested in seeing the models Denison is currently purchasing for faculty/staff as a reference for your purchase, please visit www.denison.edu/its/support/summerreplacement2010.html.
Dell Note:
- Dell's online store for students, faculty, and staff includes only consumer products (Inspiron, Studio, XPS).
- For the business line (Latitude and Optiplex), call 800-695-8133 extension 7283530 and provide member ID US10583282 to receive Denison's discounted pricing. Additional discounts may be available, please ask your Dell phone sales representative. It is helpful to visit www.dell.com/enterprise ahead of time, configure a Latitude or Optiplex as desired, and save it to a cart so you can discuss discounts for your desired model with the phone sales representative.
