Dell has created a special website for the University of Hawaii if you click on the UH Dell Store.
1) Create an online E-Quote. First, connect to either the UH Dell Store (Higher Education) or the WSCA-Hawaii Dell Store (local government). The UH Dell Store is usually less, but at times there might be special promotions at the different sites. Dell will honor the lowest price quote you saved and submitted in your order.
You will be at the Dell Premiere site. Click on a Desktops (Optiplex or Inspiron) or Notebooks (Inspiron or Latitude) icon to take you to the choices available to you. Choose a product you are interested in purchasing (see the for help in choosing a system that best fits your needs) and click on .
To change any of the configurations, you could click on the box with drop down menus. You could click on Learn More to find out more about that option. When finished, click on Update Price at the bottom to make sure that it contains all your changes. You could then click on Save as E-Quote.
- To see a side-by-side comparison with another computer, you could optionally click on Compare. You will then have to spec out another system and then on the bottom, another choice labeled Add to comparison will appear. You could then view the two configurations and compare them.
- To optionally add additional items to the order, click Continue Shopping. After you are finished, you should then click on Save as E-Quote.
2) Save the E-Quote form. The E-quote Information page is displayed.
Enter your Name and Email Address.
Under E-Quote Name, enter your email address a second time.
Under Description, enter a short description of the machine (for example: Dell Desktop for Bob Smith).
You may optionally ignore all the other fields if you are not the fiscal or purchasing person. When this is complete, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Continue.
3) Email the E-quote to your campus Dell representative(see below) and request the lowest price available for your configuration. If your configuration exceeds $2,500 also request a "regular" price quote. The lowest price and regular price quotes will be required for your Fiscal Officer to fill out a Form 95. Print out the quotes.
4) Give the print-out(s) to your department's purchaser. The purchaser needs the printed quotes.
For ordering questions, please contact Jessica Johnson(Jessica_Johnson@dell.com). 800-274-7799 Ext 72-63888.
