u:book

High-quality notebooks for private use

WU students, staff and faculty can privately purchase quality laptops, tablets, convertible tablets/laptops and accessories at particularly attractive prices. Available devices in each sales window are selected based on specific criteria such as weight and battery life, mechanical robustness, resolution and quality of the screen. The main goal is to meet the needs of academic research, teaching and studying. Products and accessories from well-known brands (e.g. Lenovo, HP, Apple, Microsoft, Dell, Acer) are available during the sales period.

u:book is a service provided by the University of Vienna for all Austrian academic institutions and their members. Support is provided by the u:book team as well as by the manufacturers and sales partners.
