<p>I purchased a computer for my D through Dartmouth (a couple of months after she go t a new computer). You pick up your computer move in day and everything is set up and ready to use. Also when you purchase your computer on campus, you are covered under warranty so if you have a problem, you can drop it off at the service center, get a loaner and keep things moving. </p>
<p>If you are not the most computer savvy person, you will your self a lot of time and headaches just getting the computer.</p>
