Overview
If you’re considering a new computer for the upcoming academic year, Pitt Digital offers device and configuration recommendations just for you. Specific machines are not required: if you already have a Windows, Mac, or Linux laptop that meets your needs and the configuration recommendations, including a current, supported operating system, it is not necessary to buy a new one.
Detail
Pitt Digital has negotiated with Dell's Member Purchase Program (MPP) to offer student discounts on select models. Shop exclusive Pitt student discounts through Dell's Member Purchase Program, or shop with Tech on Fifth at the University Store on Fifth for exclusive Dell rebates, custom configurations, and on-campus pickup.
- All recommended devices are capable of running standard productivity applications, either through remote access or saved locally on the machine, including Office 365, OneDrive storage, video conferencing, and remote support.
- A Wi-Fi network card, an integrated camera and microphone, and a 3-year warranty (excluding Chromebooks) that includes accidental damage coverage all come standard.
Apple offers education pricing, available to current and newly accepted college students and their parents, as well as faculty, staff, and homeschool teachers of all grade levels. Please see the Apple Education Store for details.
