A new website has been created, http://findtech.rutgers.edu that will be a resource for technology purchasing. There are links to the vendor pricing sites. Some of the vendors are giving their most aggressive pricing via their educational pricing sites. There are also links to make personal purchase where you will receive the discounted educational pricing. Apple has released a new MAC Book pro and will be updating their prices and configurations this week. Please note footnotes on the findtech website for changes in configurations.
