Obtaining a PC (Dell)


UCit has negotiated special pricing on Dell computers for personal purchases as well as institutional purchases. This extends a program first developed for bulk institutional purchases, under which UCit coordinated a unified PC purchase agreement for the University community. In the past, each department had arranged its own purchases with PC vendors. Leveraging the combined buying power of the University, UCit negotiated with Dell Computers greater savings for the community.

This special pricing is now available to UC Faculty, Students, and Staff when buying a Dell computer with personal, not institutional funds. Although Dell's prices are attractive, the individual buyer may be able to negotiate a better price elsewhere. However, Dell offers additional value such as a three-year warranty included with the purchase, and the high quality standards that make Dell a market leader in the computer industry.

More information:

In addition to the special UC pricing, Dell periodically runs specials that are only offered on the http://www.dell.com website. If you find better pricing on any of the models offered on our Premier page Dell will honor the better price. It is worth a look.

UC has negotiated site license agreements for both Microsoft software and McAfee anti-virus software. The prices are attractive enough that they should not be ordered through any other agent; information may be found at http://mscontract.uc.edu and McAfee.

The process may be begun (or you may simply window shop) by taking the appropriate branch below:
