You can choose to purchase a new or used system from a source other than Dartmouth. However, we provide warranty service only to these laptops:
- Apple Macintosh (recommended)
- Lenovo (recommended)
- Dell
When the Web site becomes available in early June, please read the information carefully before purchasing any computer so you will know which system will best fit your needs.
Keep in mind that Dartmouth's Peter Kiewit Computing Services does not support Windows XP Home or Windows Vista Home. If you bring a personal computer other than one of the recommended models, or with an unsupported operating system, you will need to take your computer off campus for warranty repair. Students who bring computers other than those recommended sometimes have problems getting their computers connected to the Dartmouth network, even though the computer appears to meet our specifications.
If you plan to bring a new computer that matches the specifications of the packages recommended, you will be asked to call the incoming student computer hotline (the hotline number will be activated in early June) to discuss your options and to find out about the standards for network interface cards and other key components.
