UW-Eau Claire Discount Packages

Dell

UW-Eau Claire has negotiated educational pricing on Dell computers for faculty/staff/student personal purchases.
Special pricing on Dell products

HP

HP is also an affordable windows-based laptop option. Currently, UW-Eau Claire does not partner with HP to offer a discount.

Apple

Apple offers standard academic discounts to UW-Eau Claire for faculty/staff/student personal purchases. However, Apple versions of many Microsoft applications (notably Excel and other Office 365 applications used extensively in the college) do not have the same features as the Windows versions. This means that the Windows versions are required in the college. Fortunately, many Macs can run Windows and will meet the college's minimum computing requirements. MacBooks manufactured before 2021 can run Windows via Apple’s Boot Camp software, and almost all Apple computers can run Windows via a virtual computing platform such as Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion.

Already Own a PC?

Do you already own a laptop PC? Make sure it meets the College of Business's minimum computing specifications.

Want to upgrade an already purchased PC? We suggest you first purchase additional RAM, then increase the size of the hard drive. These upgrade items will most affect enhanced performance.

Mac users have access to Microsoft Windows via UW-Eau Claire's virtual environment:
The virtual environment simulates a general access lab, enabling you to access software applications such as SAP, Oraclle, Visio, and Office 2016. Your UWEC network drives are automatically mapped after you log in. Get started here.

College of Business students who already own an Apple laptop, but are required to have access to a laptop running Windows, have two additional options: Boot Camp and VMWare/Parallels. Please note: It will be the student's responsibility to have either of these options pre-installed before they begin their classes. The College of Business will not install Windows on Macs.

Option 1: Boot Camp

Boot Camp is an Apple application that allows older Macs (not new ones) to run either Windows or Mac OS on the same Mac.

Requirement: Macs that contain an Intel CPU

Option 2: VMware / Parallels

VMware Fusion and Parallels are two products that an Apple user can purchase to install on the Mac operating system. Both applications allow users to run Windows within an application through the Mac OS.

NOTE: Running the Windows OS through the Mac OS, this process is very a hardware intensive process. Users may experience slow performance.

Requirements: Intel Processor, Minimum 4GB of RAM, and 400MB of Free Disk Space

Printers
