College of Business Administration
: The College of Business Administration Approved Laptop Models

The COBA Prefered Laptop: Dell E-6400

The University of Toledo is pleased to announce the College of Business Administration's Laptop Purchasing Program models for the 2009/2010 academic year.

What else do I need?
The University of Toledo has negotiated with Microsoft to enable a substantial discount toward various Microsoft products and accessories. However, due to vendor price discrepancies, Microsoft Office suite will not come pre-installed on COBA laptops. Therefore, in order to receive this discount, enrolled students will need to purchase Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise edition (Recommended) through the e-academy website.

Please consider backup options for your new laptop. External hard drives and jump drives are available to purchase when choosing a laptop under storage and media.

Also, Anti-virus/spyware protection will not be included in this offer. We strongly recommend purchasing an inexpensive version of McAfee from Rocket Copy, which is located inside the Student Union. Another alternative would be to purchase AVG's full version of anti-virus software which is located at www.grisoft.com, or download the basic free version from download.com. 

When to purchase? For Fall 2009, incoming students are strongly recommended to purchase a COBA laptop prior to the beginning of the semester. Dell has recently just released their new latitude e-series laptops. Click on the Dell page link for price information.
