So these are the supported laptops offered by my school and am wondering if I should go with them or just get one directly from the manufacturer.

How are these deals?

One thing they did mention is that these are business models, so they are more sturdier than the regular models.

The laptops will come with Office 2007 Enterprise, Symantec AntiVirus and Visual Studio .NET preinstalled. They will also come completely configured to work on our network. All printers will be installed and they will be setup with a firewall and antispyware program.
 
if youre buying lenovo, they have a few stackable discounts available online for a number of their laptops. hit up the hot deals forum here, or elsewhere, to learn more about them and take full advantage of it.

the R60 series can be had for under $600, the T series (which id prefer anyway) are a little pricier, but still have nice discounts. hell, perhaps you can combine a discount with a student discount or something to really get a nice price 🙂

/i am not the guy to ask.
