Library and Technology Services (LTS) has been working to change the way the University purchases computers by centralizing computer purchases through one vendor, CDW-G. There are three supported brands for computer purchases at Lehigh: Apple, Dell, and Lenovo.  

By partnering with CDW-G and integrating purchasing with Unimarket, members of the Lehigh community can more easily explore and order pre-configured computer bundles with maximized savings and improved efficiency. This new process is aligned with An Organization of the Future, one of the foundational initiatives of Lehigh's Strategic Plan, “Inspiring the Future Makers.” 

LTS is finalizing the movement of the final vendor (Dell) to the CDW-G platform and would like to invite any Lehigh University faculty or staff to attend an information session with LTS and CDW-G to meet the CDW-G team, review the purchasing process, and ask any questions you may have. The sessions are one hour in length and will be held Wednesday, September 18 at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. via Zoom (registration is required). To register for one of these sessions, please click the date and time you would like to attend:

Wednesday, September 18 at 10:00 a.m.

Wednesday, September 18 at 2:00 p.m. 

For more information regarding the computer purchase process, please visit the LTS Computer Purchasing webpage.

Important highlights and information regarding the process 

  • A minimum of a Unimarket Browser account is required to access the CDW-G purchasing web pages. Request a Unimarket account
  • Pre-configured Lehigh bundles are available for all three vendors for one click purchasing.  
  • LTS Computing Consultants are available to help you choose a configuration.
  • Quotes for custom configurations are available by request at lehigh@cdwg.com.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the LTS Help Desk (610-758-4357 or helpdesk@lehigh.edu) or your LTS Computing Consultant.

Sincerely,
