Laptop Purchase Program

The VLS Laptop Purchase Program is available to incoming VLS students. We will purchase the laptop described below on your behalf, configure it with the software you will need during law school, and provide three years of hardware support (through DELL and/or VLS) and one year of software support free.

Why Buy This Laptop?

Worry-free ownership of a business class laptop.

Great Gift! If a family member or close friend is looking for the perfect gift for the soon-to-be law student, we can help with the process and assure you a new laptop upon arrival at Law School

Start with a New Laptop: We order the systems as close to the start of the term as possible to insure the optimal useful life of the laptop (certainly through three years of law school!)

Free Software Support: As stated above, you get free software support for the first year. Avoid $60/hr software service fees!

Free Hardware Support: You get three years of hardware support from VLS and/or Dell. Avoid $60/hr hardware service fees!

Loaner Program: While your laptop is being repaired, you will have the use of a loaner laptop, so you're never without a computer.

Order Dates

Orders in 2010 will be placed in June, July, and August.  Please Note: You must order by July 15th for your laptop to be ready for pickup at VLS Orientation on August 23rd.  Orders may be placed after this date, but we cannot guarantee delivery for the first day of Orientation.

Cost:

$1395, plus 6% sales tax of $83.70 = $1478.70 (options extra)
