Institutional PC and Laptop Purchases

The State of New York has contracted with Dell for new Aggregate Buy Pricing (Agg Buy), and Mount Sinai has been invited to participate in this program. Prices for PCs and Laptops purchased through this contract are considerably lower than the standard Institutional pricing. Selections and customization options are slightly limited but the site does offer all of our standard recommended configurations: Dell Optiplex desktops and Dell Latitude and Inspiron laptops. Accidental damage insurance for laptops (Dell CompleteCare) is not available on this site, but our Dell Sales Representative can add it to your order.

If your business needs call for a configuration that is not available on the AggBuy site, please visit the Dell Institutional MSSM site.

The first time you enter either site you will be asked to create a Dell Personal Profile by providing your name, e-mail address, and a Personal Password that is unique to you.

For assistance, contact the Medical School Computing Help Desk by phone or e-mail.
