Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The university makes it a policy to only purchase from Dell or Apple when purchasing computing equipment. Apple has gotten a rating of Gold for all of their computers. When the university purchases from Dell 90% of these machines are silver or higher. As of right now the centeral perchasing system for computers is recieveing a major overhal. As such there is no detailed purchasing information that the University could responsibly give about computer purchasing.
