Computer iconDiscounted Dell Equipment

Information Technology is excited to maintain a partnership with Dell to offer Dell hardware at a discounted price for faculty, staff and student’s personal use. This is a program called the Dell University program and offers ASU faculty, staff and students 7% off a personal purchase of Dell equipment in addition to special promotional offers based upon the cost of the equipment and the length of warranty purchased.

  • Buy with ease. Go to dell.com/angelostate and order from the featured systems, which are pre-loaded with a lot of great features.
  • Customize your system. Alternatively, meet your unique needs by customizing any system and getting an additional 7% discount on top of generally advertised Dell Home and Home Office promotions.
  • Add the extras: For the first time ever, get an additional 7% off electronics and accessories on top of generally advertised Dell Home and Home Office promotions.
  • Call-in Price Guarantee. If you find a better deal on a new Dell home system anywhere on www.dell.com/home, call one of our EPP sales representatives to beat the current Dell Home PC price. It’s another benefit of Dell EPP.
