I just finished my MBA and I bought the "required" laptop through the the schools special purchase program. I got an IBM R40 with all necessary software and 3 yr warranty for $1500. I priced a similar spec machine at Dell, Gateway, etc. and they came to ~ $1800+ w/ out software/warranty. Direct from IBM, the same machine was over $2K.
You can usually get a good deal through the school since the manufacturers ofter provide a discount program for the schools.
Just an option.
