Computer Types and Pricing

Disclaimer: Due to increased demand for AI-related hardware (including SSDs and RAM), all Dell computer orders are subject to pricing impacts. Any Dell quote obtained is valid for two weeks only, and pricing may change without notice. We strongly encourage you to review quotes as soon as they are received and submit orders promptly to avoid potential price increases.

Additionally, because computer pricing changes frequently, please visit the TSUS Marketplace to view current Dell and Apple computer options and costs. Both Dell and Apple tiles are available on the TSUS Marketplace homepage and provide the most up-to-date pricing information.  ITAC Standards & Prices on the TSUS Marketplace for both Dell and Apple are subject to change at any time due to supply demands & computer models being discontinued by the manufacturer.
