Micro Center Offers Exclusive Tech Deals for Harvard Students
The world's greatest computer store is just a few miles from campus with exclusive student deals, low prices on Apple products, and hands-on expertise you can’t get online.
Technology isn’t just a helpful tool; it’s essential for everything from complex research and late-night writing sessions to staying connected with the world beyond campus. But getting the right gear and keeping it running can be a challenge. That's where having Micro Center in Cambridge as your local expert comes in handy.
Since the first Micro Center store opened in Columbus, Ohio, back in 1979, Micro Center has grown into a legendary destination for anyone passionate about technology. With over 45 years of experience, we’ve built a reputation as the go-to resource for expert computer advice.
​
Whether you're an engineering student working with specialized AI PCs, a gamer seeking the latest hardware for your dorm room, a creator needing tools for video and digital projects, or simply looking to make your life easier with the right laptop, we have something for you.
And beyond pre-built laptops and desktops, Micro Center empowers you to create a truly custom PC with an extensive Build-Your-Own product catalog featuring an unparalleled range of components, from the latest CPUs and GPUs to specialized parts. If you're new to PC building, our in-store technicians at the in-store Knowledge Bar can provide expert guidance and even build it for you, offering a level of service you can't get online, including same-day pick-up.
For the Harvard community, here are three key things to know about your local Micro Center:
​​Exclusive Discount on Priority Care+
​

Everyday Low Pricing on Apple
​
It’s no secret that Apple products are a staple on college campuses, but they rarely go on sale. Micro Center is known for its everyday low pricing on MacBooks, iPads, and other Apple gear, making it one of the smartest places to shop for your core academic tools.
​
A Tech Hub in Your Backyard
​
The Cambridge Micro Center is an incredibly convenient resource, located about three miles from Harvard Yard. We offer an immersive shopping environment where you can get hands-on with an unparalleled range of over 20,000 products, including the latest laptops, 3D printers, and PC parts. When you need a quick fix for a dying laptop charger or want to actually test out a keyboard before buying, having a local store is a huge advantage.
Micro Center's is told through expertise and customer loyalty. The company has expanded from its Ohio roots to Silicon Valley and beyond, with stores in 29 (soon to be 30) cities including New York, Houston, Santa Clara, and Miami. Having a local tech partner provides a place to ask questions, get immediate help from experts, and find the exact tools you need.
