<p>Okay, it's time to plan to purchase new shiny things for Harvard.</p>
<p>I need to get a laptop (obviously) and i was wondering what's the mainstream type of laptop that people in Harvard uses. I want to fit in the main stream because i stood out with my ALienware b4 in my school and i dont want that to happen again. BTW, i'm going to be a Econo Major in Harvard, so give me some suggestions (especially Harvard attendants) Thank you! (money is not a problem in purchasing).</p>
<p>Kids picked on you because of your computer?</p>
<p>Go to <a href="http://www.computers.harvard.edu%5B/url%5D">www.computers.harvard.edu</a>. They sell high-end, extremely light, T-series IBM notebooks at an incredibly discounted price (up to 41% off) for Harvard students.</p>
<p>BTW, students here (at least the CS crowd) will respect you quite a bit for bringing Alienware.</p>
<p>You want something inconspicuous? Get a Dell. Every loser who doesn't know a thing about computers will have one because:'
a. Dell sends out those catalogues every other day.
b. Dell makes cheap laptops with integrated audio/video/NIC/toaster,etc.
c. Dell has a deal with Harvard to provide laptops to the students at underhanded prices.</p>
<p>I'd say keep the Alienware - it's better than anything else you can get. And who gives a **mn what other people think?</p>
<p>Close, hikkifan, but our deal is with IBM and not Dell.</p>
<p>my bad. ibm - ooh i like the sound of that.</p>
<p>Even alums can get the IBM laptops and desktops at great prices. I have one of each.</p>
<p>Act now, and you can get a "tastefully designed" carrying case with the Veritas logo embroidered on the side, absolutely free!!</p>
