Why Buy Through The Personal Computer Purchasing Program?
The Right Computer For You
Different academic programs have different computing needs. An architecture major may need a laptop with a top-of-the-line processor to render 3D illustrations, while an English major that works mostly in the cloud writing creatively might not need that same processing power, for example.
Since we work with colleges and departments directly for their recommendations, you can know you are getting a quality computer that will suit your individualized academic needs throughout your time at UNLV.
Get More For Less
Vendors typically offer extended warranties for computers purchased through the program as well as incentives like discounts, free shipping, and gift certificates for future purchases. Please see the individual vendor sites for current offers and discounts.
