A new laptop can be a significant investment. You want to ensure that you’re getting a great machine and not paying too much for it. You’ll want a laptop that will last throughout your schooling and even after and well into your job search. From financing options to protecting your laptop here are some things you should consider when purchasing your laptop for college.
Many laptop manufactures offer laptops at a discount to college students. When purchasing a laptop be sure to ask if you qualify for any of these discounts. Additionally, many colleges have exclusive deals with manufactures for discounts on computers they recommend. Check with your school to see what discounts they offer their students. Some online schools provide college students with free laptops if they are enrolled in a program.
Financing Options
Many retailers and manufacturers offer their own financing on laptops, sometimes even at a zero percent interest rate.
Leasing
Rent to own options are also available through retailers such as Rent-A-Center and Aaron’s but rent-to-own may not be the best option available as you’ll end up paying much more than the original purchase price by the time you take ownership of the computer. We recommend you only use this option only as a last resort.
Insurance
Once you invest in a new computer, you’re going to want to make sure that your purchase is protected. Consider insuring your computer. Often the payments are very reasonable, often under $5 a month, and will come in so handy if ever your laptop is stolen or broken. You may even be able to insure your laptop through renter’s insurance.
Warranty
While a laptop warranty shouldn’t be your only deciding factor when making a purchase, it will help give you some peace of mind that your money will be well spent. It is important to note that most laptop warranty programs do not cover accidental damage to your machine, so if you drop it, break the screen, or spill something on the keyboard it won’t be covered by the warranty, though it might be covered if you’ve purchased additional laptop insurance coverage. You may also purchase accidental damage coverage (ADC) from many different manufacturers such as Apple, Toshiba, and Microsoft. Costco also offers competitive ADC warranties for laptops purchased through them.
Buy Used
There are many great places where you can purchase a great machine at a significant markdown once it has been used or refurbished. For the most secure purchases, consider buying a refurbished model direct from the manufacturer. These laptop models are often covered under the same warranty you’d get from the factory buying a new model.
Look for a corporate off-lease sale. Many large companies lease new laptops from retailers for a few years and then return them at the end of the lease. These computers are newer models that have been well cared for. The retailer then sells off the laptops for a lower price. While they’re a step down from a refurbished model, you’ll also see that reflected in the cost. This is a great way to get a well running machine for a fraction of the cost.
