To help achieve a more standardized, supportable mobile computing environment, the Mobile Computing Program (MCP) partners with select computer vendors so that Hopkins students, faculty, and staff can purchase specially selected mobile systems at very competitive prices.

Some benefits of purchasing a mobile system under this program:

  • Special pricing not likely to be matched elsewhere for comparable configurations.
  • High-quality, durable models provide adequate computing power for years after purchase.
  • All models offer a three year warranty.  Most offer three year insurance coverage against accidental damage (such as screen breakage -- often not covered under a standard computer warranty).
  • All models offer wired and wireless networking capability for flexible access to the Internet.  For more information on wireless networking at Johns Hopkins, see our Wireless Networking web page.

These offerings are available only to Johns Hopkins students, faculty, and staff.  To enter the correct site, please click the link for your Hopkins affiliation and status below.
