Buying an Apple Computer

California State University has a custom Apple Store for Faculty, Staff and Students where they can make a purchase for themselves or the department. Although, we have pre-configured various systems in the Custom Apple Store for your convenience, you are able to configure them to meet your needs.

For University purchases, once you have chosen the computers you want to purchase, print the detailed quote from the website and attach a requisition form for leasing the machine. After submitting the requisition, the purchasing office will arrange for the lease. Nancy Clausen will contact the users to let them know the exact lease price. For Macintosh, there is an option to purchase equipment for an amount not to exceed the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the equipment upon the expiration of lease. For Dell, departments have the option of selecting a $1.00 Buy-out if the order is larger than $5,000.00, otherwise it will be a Fair Market Value (FMV) lease. In order to assist you with various forms, here are sample and actual forms:
