We have posted our recommended laptops for Fall 2009 on our Buying a New Laptop page. Based on our positive experiences over the years, we have again selected models from Apple and Lenovo to be included as recommended computers. Additionally, we are pleased to add certain Dell models to our recommended list for 2009. You will be able to order these models via the NCSU Bookstores beginning in May.
All of these models come with a three-year manufacturer warranty. We have prepared an exhaustive list of specs for the laptops, available on the Buying a New Laptop page. You can even select multiple models and compare them side-by-side if you'd like.
Often, manufacturers update their specs during the summer, which is outside of our control, but usually the specs improve without an increase in price. If we receive any updates, we will update the specs and note the changes accordingly.
