<p>I'm considering going to Ursinus College in PA, but i'm having a hard time accepting their laptop program. They give you a Dell, which I not impressed with at all. Do you have to use school-provided laptops?</p>
<p>They can’t force you at gunpoint to use their laptops, but I would send their IT department an email.</p>
<p>What’s wrong with a Dell? It’s a free laptop. Sounds good to me…</p>
<p>I’m with URichmond2010 on this one. You’re going to pay for it one way or the other. I’m typing this on a Dell laptop, BTW. I’ve used Toshibas, Lenovas, HPs, Compaqs, and Dells over the years and I’ve been pretty happy with the Dells. I even dropped one out of a backpack onto a parking lot once. It cracked the corner of the case and the latch that held the CD-ROM in place, but I continued to use it for two years afterward.</p>
<p>Well, did you even see the laptop, get a look at its specs?</p>
<p>If not, you shouldnt bash the laptop like that.
Dell, like all other laptop companies, has thier high and low end laptops.</p>
<p>Maybe you had a bad experience with a low end one.</p>
<p>Accept it and then sell it. Then, use the money from the sale to buy the laptop that you actually want. Easy.</p>
<p>we have a winner^^^</p>
