Recommended Computer Models

ResNet announces computer recommendations for specific Apple and Lenovo computer models for Saint Mary's students each July to help make your purchasing decisions easier. 

We recommend specific MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models from Apple, and specific models from Lenovo. 

By waiting until the summer to buy a computer for college, you will be able to take advantage of educational discounts, new hardware and software available, and special "Back to School" sales our vendors offer.

You can order our recommended computers online through our custom Apple and Lenovo websites.

The Campus iStore was developed by the Department of Information Technology to help students, parents, faculty, and staff select and purchase personal computers and software at educational discount rates from College-approved vendors. The Campus iStore does not carry any computers in stock, we only assist with computer purchasing process to help you make the best decisions for your needs.

Our recommended systems have been approved by our Information Technology professionals and meet the expected computing needs of our students for four years. The systems we recommend are the same models Saint Mary's College buys for our faculty and staff - we follow our own recommendations.

We strongly recommend that students wait to purchase a computer until you receive computer purchasing information from ResNet, which will be sent out in July. At that time we will be able to offer our specific computer recommendations for current Apple and Lenovo models to help make your purchasing decisions easier, and you will be able to take advantage of new computer models, educational discounts, and special "Back to School" sales our vendors offer during the summer.

If you have questions about purchasing a personal computer, contact ResNet at resnet@saintmarys.edu or call 574-284-5319.
