Go Mobile: Laptop Discount Program

OHIO offers faculty, staff and students on all six campuses the option to purchase a high quality laptop at a substantial discount. Visit the Go Mobile home page or the Technology Showcase in CSC 003b for more info.

Desktop and Peripheral Discount Offerings

OHIO currently has educational pricing agreements with Apple, Dell, Gateway, Hewlett Packard and IBM/Lenovo.  Use the links below to see the vendors' current offerings.  If you decide to buy through one of these educational pricing sites, make sure to compare the quoted price with specials advertised on the manufacturer's home pages. In some cases, those prices will be better than those on the educational purchase pages.

  • Apple (all products, not just computers)
  • Dell
