Students at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have the largest selection of notebooks for the campus purchase program, with vendors from such as Acer, Lenovo and NEC offering laptops at heavily discounted prices.

If you purchase any laptop under this program, the machine will be configured with the following software free:

Windows XP Professional or Vista operating system

Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium

Adobe Acrobat Reader

NUS Windows Shopping

NUS Dialup

If you already own a laptop, then you may have all the above system installed in your notebook except for the Windows XP/Vista and Macromedia Webtools 8 programs.

Another advantage of this campus purchase program is that all units will be given at least a three-year on-campus warranty, with some brands even offering international coverage as well.

Acer

ASUS

Apple

Fujitsu

Lenovo

NEC

Toshiba
