For UT Austin Students

UT Austin move-in is typically August 18–20. If you're a Longhorn starting in fall 2026 and need a MacBook before then, here's the order deadline that makes sense:

Order by August 10 → arrives at your Austin dorm address by August 13–14 at the latest. Gives you 4–5 days before move-in to get it set up.

If you're in a tech-heavy program at UT — CS, ECE, Information School, or McCombs — the M1 MacBook Air handles the workload. Python, Java, JavaScript, SQL, and Jupyter notebooks all run natively and fast on M1. If you're doing intensive graphics work or running VMs, text us and we'll talk through whether M1 or M2 makes more sense for your specific use case.

Other Austin Schools We Ship To

We ship to any Austin address — not just UT students. If you're at St. Edward's University, Concordia University Texas, Huston-Tillotson University, or Austin Community College, the same process applies. Text us your budget, we confirm availability, you pay via Venmo, it arrives at your dorm or apartment.

For ACC students especially: the M1 MacBook Air at $429 is an excellent choice. It's more than enough for any ACC program and holds its resale value well if you upgrade after transferring to a 4-year school.
