2008/2009 Miami Notebook Models*

Miami is pleased to announce the Miami Notebook models for the 2008/2009 academic year. Please note, vendors continually update their product lines and Miami Notebook models may change accordingly.

When to Purchase: If you are an incoming first year student for Fall 2008, we recommend that you purchase your Miami Notebook during Orientation in June.  This balances getting the latest technology with allowing time to become familiar with your new laptop before school starts.

Apple "Back to School" promotion for students, faculty and staff: add an 8GB iPod nano or any iPod touch to your Apple Miami Notebook order and get up to a $299 rebate (Apple promotion details PDF; Apple rebate site).
