Student Laptop Program


Welcome to our Student Laptop Program

Offering exclusive laptop(s) for students.

In partnership with Cal Poly Pomona and Dell, the Bronco Bookstore is offering complete Dell laptop packages with sales taxes, fees and extended warranties included (plus optional payment plans). We worked collectively with all the Campus departments to find the best machine for your needs. 

The partnership with Dell and the University allows us to offer payment options on Dell Laptops as well as an extended 4-year warranty and 4-year accidental warranty, making sure that you have a problem-free computer to use during your college tenure.

  • The Pro Package is catered toward students using the laptop mostly for typing reports, spreadsheets, internet research, email and e-book reading.

These options are only recommendations but you optimally you will need to decide what best meets your needs. Please contact the Bookstore if you have any further questions or need assistance selecting the right laptop to meet your needs.

FAQ's

1. Can I use financial aid to pay for my laptop?

a. Yes, but you must make arrangements through the Bookstore.

4. If I switch majors and need a more powerful laptop, can I exchange my laptop?
a. No. Please note that students are responsible for continuing payments for their selected laptops through the end of the payment plan or until the device is paid in full. We recommend opting for a higher performance laptop if you believe you might need it. Please contact the Bookstore. But note that once opened, there are no returns/exchanges.

8. Can I buy any laptop in this program in one upfront payment?
a. Yes, all laptops offered through this program can alternatively be purchased instead of utilizing the payment plan.

9. While making payments, is this laptop strictly for educational use, or can I use this laptop for personal use, outside work for my job, or contracted work, etc.?
a. The laptop is yours to use to your preference, like any other electronic item you own, as long as payments are current.
