Windows Computers

CruzBuy Punchout-Dell

UC has negotiated pricing with Dell to get the lowest total cost available. Prices do not include shipping or CA environmental fees.

You can order Dell Desktop & Laptop computers using the CruzBuy punchout for Dell.  The punchout lists UC Standard Configurations with special pricing: two desktops and two laptops.  These are "Super Saver" configurations that only allow limited changes.

When ordering a new computer if you are licensed for Windows 7 under the MCCA program, order the computer with Windows 7 Home (this is the default) to save the cost of the Windows 7 Pro license.  ITS will install Windows XP Pro or Windows 7 Pro on the new computer.

Mac Computers

CruzBuy Punchout-Apple

UCSC has educational pricing available with Apple from the Apple Store for Education. Prices do not include shipping or CA environmental fees.

You can order Mac destkop & laptop computers using the CruzBuy punchout for Apple.  The Apple punchout opens in a separate window, so you will need to enable pop-up windows in your web browser.

Please note that all new Mac computers must run Mac OS X Lion.

The Apple Store punchout contains special 5-year AppleCare support products that can be ordered using the "Special Products" link in the top right area of the punchout window:
