Where to buy computer?

[Springbird]

Current Smithies and parents: any advantage to buying a Mac at the Smith computer store vs our local Apple store? Also, does everyone bring their own printer, do people share, or is it easy enough to rely on the school’s printers?

Thanks!

Repairs are free only when the computer is under warranty.

To obtain service for personally-owned computers purchased at the Smith Computer Store,

Most repairs and replacements are made within a day or two, and nearly all are made within two weeks. Service for your own equipment is billed at a discounted rate for time and materials; a technician can estimate your cost after diagnosing the problem.
