This guide is for students and staff of the University of Nigeria, whether you are on the main Nsukka campus, at the Enugu campus (UNEC) or doing clinical work at Ituku-Ozalla. Compuvilla has sold computers from 76 Zik Avenue, Uwani, Enugu since 2006, and we have put together practical advice to help you choose a laptop for life at UNN. For general information about delivery to the town, see our Nsukka page.
Choosing a laptop by faculty
Engineering, architecture and CAD. If you use AutoCAD, SolidWorks, MATLAB or similar tools, memory and processor matter most. Ask us for laptops with more RAM and a solid-state drive, and tell us exactly which software your department uses. A larger screen also makes drawings easier to work with.
Medicine, nursing and health sciences. Medical students at UNEC and Ituku-Ozalla spend much of their time reading textbooks and journals, preparing presentations and writing reports. A light laptop with good battery condition and a comfortable screen is often more useful than raw power, because it travels with you between lectures, the hospital and your lodge.
Arts, law, education and social sciences. Most of your work is typing, research and presentations. A dependable laptop with a solid-state drive and a good keyboard will do the job well without stretching your budget. Students running SPSS for projects should mention it so we can check the laptop handles it comfortably.
Sciences and programming. Computer science, statistics and other science students often run code editors, data tools and sometimes virtual machines. More memory makes multitasking smoother. If you plan to learn app or web development, tell us, and we will suggest suitable machines.
Business, accounting and management. Spreadsheets, accounting software and presentations are the core here. A business-grade laptop with a full-size keyboard, including a number pad if you do lots of data entry, is a sensible choice.
Budget tips for students
Decide what you really need before you look at what is newest. A solid-state drive and enough memory usually make a bigger difference to everyday speed than the newest processor. Spend on the parts that match your course, and avoid paying for features you will never use. See current prices in our shop, and send us your budget on WhatsApp so we can suggest the best options within it.
Battery life for lectures and power cuts
Many UNN students study in hostels and lodges where power supply can be unreliable, from campus hostels to lodges around Odenigwe, Hilltop and Odim Gate. Lecture halls do not always have sockets for everyone either. Ask us about the battery condition of any laptop you are considering, and consider a power bank or a small inverter if you study late.
Buying for your final-year project
Your final-year project is the most important document of your degree. Choose a laptop that can comfortably run your analysis or design software, and back up your work regularly to a flash drive or cloud storage. Do not wait until the last weeks before submission to buy, because you need time to set up your software and get comfortable.
Parents buying for a child at UNN
Many of our customers are parents buying a first laptop for a son or daughter starting at UNN. Tell us your child’s course and your budget, and we will explain the options in plain language. Remember that our warranty does not cover screens, drops or liquid spills, so a padded bag is a good addition.
Visit our Uwani shop or get it delivered
You or your parents are welcome to visit our shop at 76 Zik Avenue, Uwani, Enugu, Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5:30pm. UNEC students in particular are close by. If you would rather stay on campus in Nsukka, we can send the laptop to you.
Delivery to UNN
We send laptops from our shop in Enugu in one of two ways:
- Mass transit bus (1-3 days), the faster option.
- GIG Logistics (5-7 days), if you prefer a courier.
We’ll agree the delivery option and pickup point with you on WhatsApp. The fee depends on your location, so WhatsApp us for your delivery fee. Online customers pay by bank transfer, and we dispatch once payment is confirmed.
Our 30-day warranty
Every laptop comes with a 30-day warranty covering the laptop, its parts and its battery. The warranty does not cover the screen, drops or liquid spills, and we do not accept returns for a change of mind, so please ask every question before you pay. Keep your laptop in a padded bag when moving between lectures, the library and your hostel.
