Choosing The Right Computer
Choosing a computer is an important and expensive decision since you want it to meet both your academic and personal needs. East Carolina University recommends that all students have access to a computer, and certain university majors have requirements that students have a laptop meeting certain minimum specifications. It is our desire to help you "choose the right computer." ECU has setup the ACE Initiative to provide special educational discount pricing plus on-campus support to ECU students who purchase Lenovo (formerly IBM) and Apple computers through ECU Dowdy Student Stores. The ACE recommended laptops are covered with complete free on-campus support and exclusive warranty repairs with an available laptop loaner program.

ECU ACE Initiative
Extensive university planning goes into the computer selection and configuration process to ensure ACE models meet the academic demands of ECU students. Vendors are chosen based on the highest standards of performance, pricing and customer satisfaction. Check ECU’s listing of departments that have requirements, www.ecu.edu/ace and be sure to consult with your academic advisor before choosing a computer.
