  • Expedited and complete support at the Tech Desk
  • Bucknell special  pricing for Dells and Apple's educational price discounts for Macs
  • On site parts for quick turnaround times (Dell only)
  • Bucknell-configured image that can be quickly restored
  • Apple pre-loaded software includes iLife 09

  • Loaner laptops for program participants
  • Solid machines that our tech students regularly see and support
  • Free shipping for Dells and Macs
 

Why use the Bison Laptop program?

When looking at a potential laptop, look at the whole picture, not just the lowest cost or the glossiest ad. Our Dell laptops offer Dell's Complete Care and  full technical support,  as well as solid business-level hardware and specifications that will work for you over the long haul. Macs have long been known for their ease of use and resistance to spyware and viruses.

In addition, we can offer a much higher level of support for Dells and Macs in the Bison Laptop program.

Bucknell's Bison Laptop program offers all of this for your four years here. We're proud to say that Bucknell's laptop program is one of the most complete programs among all of its peer institutions!
