We found more computer for the money (more extras) from the Dell Refurbished Store online. You just have to check it for a few days or a week until the combination you want pops up. We bought a Latitude, which is Dell’s business line of laptops, with on-site service.

It was the same money as the Swarthmore educational discount package, but it had more upgrades – specifically a widescreen LCD and more memory.

Both Apple and Windows are widely supported at Swarthmore, so evaluate pros and cons without concern about that.

As far as when to buy, one strategy is to wait until just before school starts, so you have as much warranty as possible.
