As stated previously, we offer academically-priced computers that are less expensive than anywhere else. Also, when you buy a computer from the Dowdy Student Stores you are not dealing with commission salespeople. Our staff does not make money from your sale, so we will not try to sell you too much computer. All of our computers are warranted by the manufacturer. Not unless your computer matches the specifications listed in question 4 .
Academic computers are to be used at school.
Though these items are fun, they are not necessary for academic use per se. Many models come standard with these features nowadays. There is no required software for a student to purchase, but it is highly recommended that you buy Microsoft Office 2000 Professional for Windows or Microsoft Office 2001 for Mac . Speak with your professor for any software required for specific classes. Dowdy Student Stores stocks Microsoft , Adobe , and Macromedia applications, and will special order other titles as long as they are available through our common vendors.
