Laptop Upgrade Options for Students
 
Hardware Upgrades

Drive bay modules, PC Cards, printers, scanners, and other peripherals are allowed, but any type of hardware upgrade requiring the disassembly of the computer is prohibited. You may purchase additional memory and/or mini-PCI cards for the computer and request that we install it for free.

You may also purchase computers directly from Dell for a discounted price. Please visit Premier Dell.com for further info.

Software Upgrades

Berea College is no longer affiliated with the collegebuys.org network. Software media is obtained through the College bookstore. We have site licenses with bookstore media available for Microsoft Office, Microsoft Windows Upgrades, and FileMaker Pro. Students are encouraged to purchase media before graduation so that software could be re-installed after graduation when campus network and service resources are no longer available.

Please be advised that you should not upgrade your laptop to Windows XP and/or Office XP because of compatibility issues with our network and classroom instruction. We also recommend that you keep the proven software configurations that come pre-installed on the laptop.
