Computer purchase agreements
University of Southampton staff and students can buy computers through several purchase agreements.
Dell
Please see 'Dell Education Staff & Student Purchases' under Useful downloads on this page.
Apple National Higher Education Agreement
This scheme offers a discount on Apple hardware and software above the standard educational discount.
http://apple.procureweb.ac.uk/ and http://www.apple.com/uk/education/hed/nationalcontract
You need to be within the University to access this special HE store (either wirelessly or from a University desktop). Please note that although the Apple Retail Store in Southampton can price-match this discount, it is not within the HE agreement. Within the HE agreement, unlike the Retail Store, hardware is covered as standard for 3 years and 1 year telephone support (upgradable to 3 with the optional uplift - again discounted). You can also specify the exact Mac for your needs by adding additional RAM, graphics cards or other components with the Build to Order option so your Mac suits your needs perfectly.
UCISA National Notebook Agreement (NNA)
Available to all UK higher-education students through distributor Getech.
