    I called them about that.... They ais you have to buy the computer, buy the warranty and buy the mouse. Then they will give you a 300$ discount or whatever amount.

    On specific laptop brands, or on any of them? I think N series is one of the ones they are offering it with.

    I tried calling the number and it tells me instead to call 888-CDW-SONY. When I call them, I can't get directed to where to talk about this campus deal.

    Basically you get 300 dollars off the SZ or TZ (I think those are the choices) if you buy the computer, a mouse, and a 300 dollar 3-year warranty.

    Before you "save" $300, Check with your school to see if they have set up deals with vendors to buy popular brands at discount prices. I got an SZ440, with 120 GB HD, 2.0GhZ, 2GB RAM, DVD burner, Vista Business, and the motion eye camera for only $1776.

    I didn't save a ton of money, but before you go buy a bunch of crap you don't need just to "save" $300, check to see if your school has a similar program set up, as i have found that most do.
