So....The guy in carge of computers at a school (usually the person who can type the quickest) is given 50 large to buy new notebook computers..
He is told by several resellers that because of the environment (i.e. kids who could'nt give a toss about smashing them up) that the machines will be used in that he should go for a reliable business machine that has a good reliability record, long warranty and stable build and will cost him about £600 per box.
What he chooses is the cheapest retail box that he can find to increase the number of machines purchased and then twelve months later wonders why half of them are no longer funtional.
