<p>Does Cal have any special laptop package that has all the required software pre-installed.
When my older child started college two years ago, she ordered a MacBook from her university with the necessary software pre-installed and she can get computer service on campus.</p>
<p>Any such deals from Cal?</p>
<p>If not, do vendors like Apple/Dell offer college discount?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I don’t think Cal offers anything that is pre-installed (as far as I know of). The discounts I know of at Apple: between $100-200 off any laptop (discount depends on the model) if you’re using it for college, plus a $100 app store gift card and discounted AppleCare. Berkeley also gives their students access to free Adobe and Microsoft programs.</p>
<p>lenovo offers student discount. i just got a thinkpad. google it.</p>
<p>Hp has $450 discounts EVERY WEEK</p>
<p>google it.</p>
<p>I just got a HP ENVY 15. Runs perfectly and a lot better than other laptops (especially crapple)</p>
