Updates and News

May 2013: Lenovo models image finalized. They should be available for sale before June 3

We're finalizing our image and models for the 2013-14 year and preparing our custom sites with Lenovo. We strongly recommend that you hold off on any purchases for laptops until at least May, when new models and new promotions will be available.

April 8, 2013: Models announced!

On the Lenovo side, we'll be offering 5 models: the T430 and T530, the X230, the X1 Carbon ultrabook, and the Helix.  For Macs, we'll be supporting the standard 13" MacBook Pro. 

If you have questions about the process, please contact us at bisonlaptop@bucknell.edu. 

When should I order my Bison Laptop?

We recommend waiting until June 17th - July 15th - that is the preferred time frame in terms of availability, warranty, and model updates.

Windows: should be available by early June, but waiting until mid-June extends your warranty, and ordering by mid-July ensures it will  arrive at your home in plenty of time before you leave for school.

Macs: Apple will release new models in early to mid June and announce their Back to School promotion at the same time. 

How do I order my laptop?

For both Macs and Windows, go to the Choose Your Model page and click on the appropriate links. You'll make your choice, select your options, pay by credit card, and have it shipped to your home. You are the owner and administrator of the computer once it arrives, so you can install anything that you'd like.
