Poseidon is an EPFL service whose aim is to help students and staff with their personal laptops. We offer durable and powerful professional devices at an attractive price.
Our services
Completely free service
Poseidon is a free service, whose costs are entirely supported by EPFL. Poseidon does not make any profit off sales done though our resellers.
Hardware and software support
All eligible students and staff can benefit from a 15 minute quick diagnostic for hardware issues, software support on windows, mac, and linux, equipment loan and personalised buying advice.
What’s more, students and staff who bought their laptop though Poseidon can benefit from extended support. We help our clients with their laptop configuration and take care of hardware issues with an authorised repair service.
Poseidon days
Several of these events have been held in the past. The goal was to make our services and offers known and to promote the laptop in the studies. You will find here the poster of the last Poseidon day.
Laptop offers
Professional computers
Our computers are from ranges destined for professional use. Unlike general models, our laptops are designed to be durable and easily repaired in case of hardware failure. They also allow for easy component upgrades to performance or storage capacity, increasing their lifespan.
Attractive price
We sell quality devices at prices often much lower than high-street prices. We negotiate our offers with the manufacturers in order to get student discounts and add-ons.
Extended warranties
Laptops bought through Poseidon, apart from Apple laptops, have a three-year on-site warranty. If you are having issues with your machine, a technician will come directly to you, anywhere in the world.
Lenovo laptops also have a three-year accidental damage cover included in the sale price. It covers problems such as water and fall damage. Such cover can be optionally purchased for HP and Apple laptops.
Laptop loans during repairs
If your Poseidon laptop breaks down, you can bring it to our Helpdesk**. We will take care of contacting authorized technicians for repairs. We will lend you an equivalent laptop for the entire length of the repairs.
0% Financing*
The EPFL Student Foundation (FEE) allows you to acquire a laptop from our Poseidon catalogue by paying in installments over several months (up to 12 months), interest-free. For BA1-2 students, CHF1000 maximum loan and CHF2500 for BA3 and over.
