The CDI difference comes down to focus; we are 100% focused on the needs of schools and educators. This focus allows us to provide a superior computer with the longest warranty and the best possible service, all uniquely tailored to the K-12 market.
Purchasing your computers from CDI will allow you to dramatically increase the number of computers in your schools without compromising on service, support and ease of maintenance.
Our overriding goal is to increase the number of computers in your schools while working within your budget and technical requirements.
A school that is currently buying brand new computers from Dell or HP will typically be able to get two to three times as many CDI Certified units for the same price.

We realize that the selling price is only part of the equation when deciding whether to purchase CDI Certified computers. After all, what good are inexpensive computers that break down quickly and need replacing? We are so confident in the quality of our computers that we give a 3-year warranty on every PC, notebook and LCD we sell. If any manufacturer offers a longer warranty we will happily match it.

If you are like our average Tech-Coordinator customer, you have a thousand computers to service and only your two hands to service them with. Even the most reliable computers, being what they are and who uses them, will occasionally fail. When they do, you need a quick, easy solution to the problem.
Our customer service representatives will work with you and provide flexible service in the manner you prefer. We are happy to replace entire systems, send you the parts you request or even have spare machines pre-stored at your location. We understand that time is your most valuable asset and we do what we can to conserve it.
Because of our massive inventory (over 10,000 units in stock) and Logistics Team, we are able to fulfill your orders in the manner you choose. Whether that means 1,000 identical computers being simultaneously delivered to dozens of schools or individual notebooks sent to homes of teachers, our Logistics Team will handle it.
While being environmentally conscious is admirable, soon schools and businesses will have no choice in the matter. Legislature limiting the disposing of computer equipment has already passed in a number of US states and is in review in others. It is a matter of time before the traditional landfill method of disposing of computers will become costly or outright illegal. If you have a storage room somewhere filled with old and dead computers it could become a real financial liability.
CDI’s disposition team will pickup your old equipment, bring it back to our facility and carefully test & audit it. Low end working units get refurbished and resold to foreign markets who still have a use for them. Units that fail testing get stripped for parts and eventually recycled down to their base components. This results in a nearly 0% landfill rate as opposed to the dozens of toxic chemicals released when computers are simply thrown away.
While most companies charge for this service our Disposition Team is often able to offer it for free or will even pay by check depending on the quality of the equipment picked up.
Our CDI Certification process ensures that CDI computers are as reliable and dependable as when they were first manufactured. See the steps that every single CDI Certified computer goes through before it is ever shipped to a school. Read More
