*Corporate class models are designed for more enhanced durability than consumer class models by having more standardized components with longer lifecycles that ensure consistent and easier repairs when needed. DePauw recommends the corporate class model for all students. **Students may provide their own copy of Microsoft Office. However, a 4-year subscription that provides the latest versions can be purchased on-line at the academic price of $79.99. |
