  The University of Mississippi and the School of Business Administration do not provide computer hardware support to students. All service must be provided by the vendor, so the service reputation of the vendor should weigh heavily in your laptop computer purchase decision. The importance of having a computer that is powerful, dependable, appropriately configured, and backed by a reputable company cannot be overemphasized.  
     
  You must purchase Microsoft Office Professional 2007 with your computer or separately. Academic discounts are available. We recommend E-academy and Academic Superstore for this software in order to get the best possible academic pricing.
