Saint Anselm College Student Voluntary Computer Purchase Program

For the new academic year, the College is excited to continue the Saint Anselm College/Dell University partnership, with 2 great laptop computers for you to choose from.  One is our recommended system, which comes with College software and a 4 year warranty with Complete Care accidental damage protection.  Our alternative option offers you a computer without the software and warranty and is made available for those seeking a lower price point.  Please read the descriptions, below, to see which computer best fits your needs or click to see our our advertisement link, at right.

College license agreements allow for only 1 order per student.  (If you have previously ordered a computer through this program, i.e., a Dell Latitude D600, D610, D620 or D630, then you may order a new E5400, but you will have to remove the College licensed software from one of the computers in order to comply with license agreements.  Even without the College licensed software, the computer will be functional as all computers ship with a separate operating system, which the student owns.  Please contact us if you have any questions).

Background:

Saint Anselm College has a voluntary, laptop computer ownership program that makes buying a computer easier and more affordable than ever. The program was started in response to the many requests we received, from students and parents, for assistance with computer and software purchasing and support. For the past five years, Saint Anselm College and Dell University have partnered to provide parents with the opportunity to participate in this voluntary laptop purchase program. For the upcoming academic year beginning in the fall of 2009, the College’s Office of Information Technology staff has configured these updated specifications for hardware and software for 2 laptop computers to provide maximum value to our students, without going overboard with unnecessary technology.

You have the opportunity to participate in this voluntary laptop purchase program take advantage of special discount pricing. Our recommended computer arrives complete with all of the software loaded and ready to go on your first day.  Plus, you’ll never have to worry about hardware maintenance with Dell's four-year, on-site warranty and complete care package! The maintenance covers you wherever you are, whether at the College, at home or while traveling. If you’re at school when something goes wrong with the computer, the College has Dell certified technicians right here on campus, so you don't have to go far to get a hardware problem fixed.

Our alternative option offers a computer with a lower price point, but does not include College software or a long-term warranty.
