Are you looking for a new computer for personal use? As a student or faculty/staff member of the UMKC community, you are eligible to receive educational discounts on personal computer purchases. While you can buy computers nearly anywhere, the three primary vendors highlighted here provide an excellent value proposition on the current standard makes and models found in UMKC offices, labs, and classrooms. These are Dell, Apple, and the UMKC Bookstore.

Dell offers UMKC faculty, staff, and students a great opportunity for significant savings. You get the UMKC discounts plus additional savings with monthly specials (e.g., free memory upgrades, free DVD drive, free shipping, etc.). You will have the "full run" of the Dell catalog from which to make your selections. To access these additional savings, place an order through the Dell Member Purchase Program and note our discounts are already applied to the prices at this site. |

Apple Computer offers education discounts to college students, faculty, staff, and administrators. Visit the Apple Store for Education and click on the link to "Select your college." You will find UMKC under "Univ Of Mo-Ks City" in a lengthy list of names. While the discounts are not exorbitant, the savings do represent the best price options for genuine Apple products and services. |

RooTech at the UMKC Bookstore offers good deals on both Dell and Apple computers, as well as a wide range of other peripherals and software for your academic and personal needs.
