<p>I am planning to buy a computer from the Cornell store, probably a Macbook. When i got the orientation information it says there will be a cornell store showcase on Ho Plaza and you can make computer purchases there.
However it just hit me that so many other freshmen will also want to buy a computer, so are they going to have enough? sry if its a silly question but will they have whatever i will need in stock? should i preorder online or something or is it already too late?</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>Though I believe it’s more convenient and practical to have a computer, my son lasted his entire freshman year using the computers available at the student centers throughout campus. Therefore, I wouldn’t worry too much if you have to wait for the one you want. </p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>If you don’t mind looking off campus, I would suggest it. You’ll probably find computers at cheaper rates.</p>
<p>they’re giving away a free itouch for college kids who purchase a mac online-
you could take advantage of that.</p>
<p>u get $100 off on macbooks if u buy from the cornell store rather than an online site selling macbooks or the apple store</p>
<p>^^ ya they give an i pod touch
and also the prices are good, lower than off campus actually (best buy, etc.)</p>
<p>so buying a comp wont be a problem during orientation week in terms of them actually having them?</p>

<p>Cornell book store has the best price for Macs, even compared with Apple educational discount. I would call the book store now to see if it would be cheaper to wait until orientation week. If so, would they give you the orientation price. I have ordered 4 Macs from them in the last 3 years, and they definitely have the best price.</p>
<p>The cornell store orders them from apple anyway…they wont go out of stock</p>
<p>u’ll be fine</p>
