Computer and Software Discounts

The College has agreements with Dell, Lenovo and Apple for purchasing computers and related equipment for personal use, and with Journey Ed for purchasing software. All of these agreements provide special educational discounts to LVC students, faculty and staff for personal purchases.  If you are interested in completing a purchase with College funds for software or equipment, please contact the Office of Information Technology for assistance.

Note: To order a computer system or software for personal use, you may need to make a copy of your college ID card in order to verify that you are a student, faculty or staff member of the college. If you are a new student without a college ID card, you may instead use a copy of the letter from LVC that confirms receipt of your admission deposit.

Below you will find information about the computers and software that the College recommends and uses.

PC with Windows

When buying a new Windows computer, you should purchase one with Windows 10 to simplify connecting to resources on the campus network. The College mostly purchases Windows desktops and notebooks from Dell. For recommended systems at special LVC discounts, visit the Dell website or the Lenovo website.
