u:book is a unique offer from the University of Vienna that was developed especially for members of Austrian educational institutions.
Why u:book?
The u:book service was launched in 2008 and has taken place twice a year since then, at the beginning of each semester. "Unlike various commercial offers, u:book is a service that was developed at a university for universities. As a university IT service provider, we have the technical expertise on the one hand, but we also know exactly what our users’ requirements are in the education sector", says Michaela Bociurko, head of marketing at u:book. This is also reflected in the selection of devices. "u:book laptops, convertibles and tablets have to meet strict criteria. The devices are reconfigured for each sales period. The key selection criteria for us are quality, suitability for specific applications in research, teaching and degree programmes, sustainability and, of course, a fair price", says Bociurko.
To meet all these requirements, the u:book sales period is only open for a limited time. The u:book team also ensures a balanced range of offers: from entry-level, lightweight devices to powerful workstations that can perform several computing-intensive tasks simultaneously. During this sales period, the manufacturing companies Lenovo, HP, Apple, Acer, Asus and Dell offer a wide range of products that meet all requirements.
How does u:book work?
All employees and students of the University of Vienna can order from u:book. From now on until 24 March, all devices can be found at ubook.at/en/shop/.
Once you have selected the device you want, click on Go to shop. You will be redirected to the online shop of the respective sales partner. Log in with your u:account access details. Shipping is free of charge throughout Austria, and you can also pick up Lenovo and Apple devices yourself.
Do you need a device that meets certain criteria? "In this case, the filter function in the u:book shop is very helpful", recommends Sara Curtis from the u:book team. "You can select the screen size and a maximum price, for example. This way, you only get product suggestions that meet your requirements. Or you can search specifically for labels. These are only awarded to selected devices that meet certain requirements." This makes it easy to find the right laptop.
