UNCW Student Computer Initiative

 

UNCW and Dell have combined efforts to give you the best deal possible on select laptop computers, including:

• State-of-the-industry 4 YEAR WARRANTY! In the event of a hardware or software problem, you will receive full technical support from UNCW and Dell, including access to a loaner if your system cannot be repaired on the same day during peak usage times. This includes COMPLETE CARE, Dell’s own service that covers most accidental damage (spills, drops, surges, breakages) that are not covered in traditional warranties.

• Shipment directly to your home or desired destination.

• Integrated wireless connectivity making it easy to use in our mobile learning environment.

• Training support on campus especially for program purchased laptops.
