HOYA COMPUTING: PURCHASING COMPUTERS

Personal Purchases
Buying the right computer is a daunting task, but Hoya Computing is here to help you. First, you should check the recommended minimum specifications and make sure that what you're buying will meet your needs. If the specs don't make sense to you, try looking through our Student Buying Guide. When you have an idea of what you need, visit Georgetown's PremierDell Store and Georgetown's Apple Store (click on the link for "recommended systems" from the Apple page) and pick the system that's right for you. Also, make sure to visit our Special News and Notices page to check if there aren't any limited-time great Dell/Apple offers that will grab your attention. And remember, if you ever get confused, you can call Hoya Computing for help.
