Our partnership with Apple provides the University community with exceptional and exclusive pricing on Apple computers. Harvard’s pricing on Apple computers is better than Apple higher-ed and Apple retail pricing throughout the year.

Available and recommended with your purchase of an Apple computer is the AppleCare Warranty Protection plan. This plan upgrades your warranty from a 1-year to a 3-year carry-in plan and upgrades the 90-day phone support to 3-year phone support which is an ideal service for the college student.

Lenovo Partnership

For the past five years Lenovo has been Harvard’s vendor partner for Windows PCs offering savings of up to 44% exclusively to our faculty, staff, departments and Harvard affiliated hospitals and Harvard affiliated institutions.

Harvard has a direct purchasing partnership with Lenovo which means that you order your computer directly from Lenovo and it is shipped to you directly from Lenovo (an inventory of product is not maintained at Harvard). To access Lenovo’s web site for Harvard visit www.computers.harvard.edu and select Personal or Departmental. Choose from one of the standard models available for Harvard purchasers or, use the custom configurator to build the computer that best suits your needs as a student, faculty member, or administrator.

Also available from Lenovo is the ThinkPad Protection warranty to protect your investment against power surges, liquid spills and LCD damage caused by a drop or fall. We highly recommend that this be added to your purchase.
