Our offer in the spring semester 2023

Our Spring Wave has been open for a good 24 hours and the first laptop model is already sold out. Don't worry, it's a laptop model from the Fall Wave. You may have noticed that various other laptop models are available "while stocks last". We still have large quantities of all Windows devices (HP, Lenovo, Microsoft) in stock due to remaining stocks from the fall of 2022 and generous pre-orders for the current sales period. Therefore, we will only reorder a few Windows laptop models and offer the latest model and processor generation again in fall 2023. The latest Apple MacBook Pro 14 and 16 can be ordered, we expect the first deliveries during the third week of February. Indeed, the recommended configurations are already on their way to Switzerland or are already in stock. Further configurations should be available in four to eight weeks. 

HP & Lenovo

For both manufacturers we offer pre-configured, carefully selected laptop models with discounts of up to 40% and three-year warranty.

A total of 11 laptop models from HP are available in the current offer. Three of them are models from the last two Neptun Waves. These are equipped with 11th generation Intel processors or 5th generation AMD processors. All other laptop models are equipped with 12th generation Intel processors and are among the most current models available from HP.

Almost all laptop models from HP are available in sufficient quantities from stock, so that we will not reorder HP devices with the exception of five laptop models: The rule is "while stocks last" orderable. Thus, eleven laptop models with a Swiss keyboard layout are available in the HP lineup and only the ZBook Power G8 with a US-International keyboard layout. DOS devices are not available for order.

Lenovo's lineup includes nine ThinkPad models, one of which is from the Fall Wave and is also available while stocks last. The laptop models are equipped with 12th-generation Intel processors or 5th- or 6th-generation AMD processors, with the exception of the ARM device, which is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon Gen 3. Lenovo also has enough devices in stock, and we will probably only place repeat orders for devices with a US International keyboard layout or DOS versions. The ThinkPads on offer are among the latest models available from Lenovo.

Microsoft

The latest Microsoft Surface Pro 9, the Surface Laptop Studio and the Surface Go 3 and the matching accessories are on offer with discounts of up to - 22%. The special feature of the devices is that they are Surface for Business models, which are equipped with Windows Pro and the "advanced exchange" option in case of a warranty claim. In addition, some of the configurations on offer cannot be ordered from independent retailers. 

The Surface Laptop Studio is still the only convertible that is equipped with a dedicated graphics card. It can either be ordered with a professional GPU certified for CAD programs or with a commercial GPU. We explicitly recommend the configuration with the certified, professional GPU, which is certified for the common CAD programs. However, you can also find the other configurations with the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 Ti GPU in the online store of the sales partner. The pen is available as an accessory and can be ordered optionally. We recommend it, but it is not included in the price of the device.

For the Surface Pro 9, we offer different configurations bundled with the keyboard and pen. However, you can order any configuration of the hybrid tablet, with or without accessories. The keyboard is available in German or US International. 

The Surface Go 3 is a Windows tablet that is well suited as a second device to your Windows laptop without touch/pen function. You can order the variant with LTE, the pen is optional and not included in the price of the device.

Apple

In the current sales period, the third warranty year is no longer automatically included in the recommended MacBook configurations. We give you the option to actively select or deselect the warranty for these devices and no longer offer bundles. You still have the choice between the warranty extension of our distribution partner DQ Solution (CarePlan, CHF 99.-) and the Apple warranty (AppleCare+, from CHF 279.-). We recommend purchasing the CarePlan!

The Apple offer includes all MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, as usual in all configurations, colors and keyboard languages. For the MacBook Pro 13, 14 and 16, you get a 15 % discount on all configurations (including the brand new models with the M2 chip). We recommend only the 14'' and 16'' models for purchase. Unique to the MacBook Pro 13 is still the Touch Bar. If you are a big fan of it, you can of course order the model in our distribution partner's online store: Go to MacBook Pro 13. 

For the MacBook Air, we recommend a configuration of the M1 model from 2020, which can be ordered with a special discount of - 21 % and thus remains affordable for smaller budgets. For other configurations de MacBook Air M1 and the current MacBook Air models with the M2 chip, the usual discount of - 15 % applies.

The iPad Air is available with - 10 % discount. On all other iPad models you get 8% discount and all Mac models (incl. the brand new Mac mini) can be ordered with 13 % discount.

For MacBooks, the delivery time varies greatly, depending on the model, configuration and color, the devices are available from stock or with up to eight weeks delivery time. Since many configurations are available, we recommend you to check directly in the online store of the distribution partner to see if your desired item is in stock in the right color. First deliveries of the new MacBook Pro 14 and 16 in our recommended configurations are expected in the third week of February.

Samsung Tablets, Mobile & Smartwatch

The Samsung offer includes the Galaxy Tab S8, the latest Galaxy S23 smartphones and the Galaxy Watch 5. You get 15 % off on all products. An additional 5 % discount is available until March 5 when you pay via TWINT or Samsung Pay. You shop at the manufacturer's own online store, and availability and delivery times are listed with each item.

In addition to the discount, you'll get the Book Cover Keyboard for free with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8, 8+, and 8 Ultra (pens are included with all Samsung tablets). The Book Cover will be automatically added to your cart for free at checkout. When you buy Galaxy S23 smartphones, you also benefit from a memory upgrade promotion.

Monitors, printers and other accessories

The Dell monitors on offer can be ordered from our two distribution partners, DQ Solutions (Apple) and Computacenter TS GmbH (HP, Lenovo, Microsoft). Both access the same warehouse, which means that the delivery times are the same for both dealers. If the final amount in your shopping cart is less than CHF 500.-, we recommend you to order the low-priced monitor via DQ Solutions (our Apple distributor) and save the shipping costs. Also back on offer is an LG monitor, which is only compatible with Apple, as well as various portable monitors from Lenovo.

You can find other useful accessories in our offer, such as Epson printers, pen and display tablets from Wacom, various iPad, office and gaming accessories from Logitech, 3Dconnexion mice, etc.

When it comes to manufacturer-specific accessories, we always keep an eye on compatibility and only display matching items for HP, Lenovo and Microsoft laptops. In the online store of the Apple distributor, all Apple-compatible accessories are available with small discounts.
