Q:  Does it have to be through the school?

A:  Laptops can be purchased anywhere. The advantage to purchasing at DU is that, in the unlikely event that a repair is needed, the computer store can perform repairs on site, often providing loaner laptops if necessary. 

Additionally:

• The warranties carry no deductible
• Units are competitively priced, with Dell laptops offered as Business class machines
• Dell has typically had a back-to-school rebate 
• Apple sometimes has a back-to-school promotion
• Questions? Email LawIT@duq.edu
