    Buying software/hardware in bulk?

    Anyone have any idea where I could find software/hardware in bulk? My uncle is looking for this for his company and trying to find a decent price.

    1) Smart Notebook Software
    Part Number# NBSW-C-STE1
    Qty 40 Nos.

    2) Microsoft Surface Pro 2017
    i5/4GB RAM/128GB
    Qty 50 Nos.

    3) Microsoft Surface Hub 86” & 55”
    Qty 10 Nos. each

    Not even sure where to start with mass purchases

    I don't really know the US' market, but at least here in Norway most consumer oriented chains and stores have a business side as well that they just don't publish heavily on the consumer webpages.
    for the Microsoft stuff I would just contact MS and ask, or look to see if they have any preferred resellers for B2B.

    (also: be sure he thought through the 4GB RAM part properly, our Surfaces typically consume around 2GB just idling, we changed our policy to 8GB memory since we noticed we didn't really have that much to go on.)

    Probably someplace like https://www.cdw.com/ then set up an account, talk to a rep, and get a quote on the purchase.

    CDW or any other business tech provider. You used to be able to bulk purchase Surfaces from MS but they've shifted around how they do it.
