We have negotiated package deals for you with three top computer manufacturers.  Choose specially selected packages recommended by Gettysburg College from Hewlett Packard, Lenovo and Dell offered at substantial discounts, providing you with the hardware and software that works best at Gettysburg.  Selecting your computer for college is easier than ever!

When you purchase a quality laptop through this program, you get a great laptop, a great price and comprehensive support.  Students purchasing a computer through this program receive priority service when seeking assistance at our G-Tech Student Computing Center.  Student technicians are familiar with these hardware offerings and if there is a software or operating problem we can help you back up information and restore the machine to factory freshness. 

2009/2010 Laptop Configuration  Every 2009/2010 program laptop comes with the Windows Vista Ultimate operating system - judged the best for the Gettysburg College network environment.

And more!  All laptops come with four full years of on-site warranty protection* AND four years of accident insurance, at no additional charge! (*See vendor websites for important warranty details, as some limitations may apply.)
