Apple

Â鶹Æƽâ°æ has partnered with CDW-G as the preferred reseller for Apple products. Apple computers, iPads, and related accessories can now be purchased through the CDW-G punchout available on the buyW&M landing page. 

Using CDW-G is strongly recommended because it helps avoid the shipping and delivery delays that have recently affected direct Apple purchases. In addition, most Apple configurations available through CDW-G include an additional 2% discount.

Please login to and create your shopping cart, then proceed to check out. 

• IT Approval remains required for all IT purchases. The IT approval for Apple products takes place during the BUYWM approval process and does not require separate approval.
• AppleCare is required for all Apple computer purchases and can be added through the CDW-G punchout (three years for laptops and four years for desktops). 
• Airpods & Powerbeats, or headphones that enter the ear canal are not allowed.
• Only Apple and CDW-G are authorized for Apple purchases at W&M.
• If the Apple product or configuration you need is not available through CDW-G, you may still purchase it through the Apple punchout in buyW&M.

This IT approval process only applies to Apple products. All other items still require the standard IT approval.

Other Computers

Departments who desire to purchase a computer from another manufacturer please proceed to and complete the Technology Procurement Review form.  Departments will be required to justify why a non-standard manufacturer is necessary.
