** Secondary Schools running a netbook/notebook program **
**Lilydale High School -** Leon Bishop Principal Similar demographic to ours 1200 Netbooks Mac and Aspire Year 12 run Mac for multimedia application Aspire for general purposes 2 options required depending on the amount of processor power required by students. If it is only 2% of the Insurance Model – Schools Insurance provider Anything not manufacture warranty = $250 excess insurer pays the rest That means keyboard or Screen it is still the same cost

Only ACER aspire option and then run dedicated labs to run multimedia applications 2 versions 11.6inch 100% keyboard Chose not insure Just manufacture warranty- generally next business day Costs itemised which can work out cheaper Greg Hancock Principal 500 computers Leasing Equipment means that you are not covered by licensing Means you need to include IT Licensing in cost Image changes every year level. Script runs to update image yearly
 * Lilydale Heights -** Greg Hancock Principal

LWT can provide On 300 unites LWT will provide 3 additional computers and include charge hold warranty. Loan unit to be used as a trial machine. This will be tested by martin for battery duration and suitability as a machine for everyday use. Of particular interest is screen size and processor power to be able to do basic video, podcast, etc... Tech will test for image creation (techs), Security and maintenance.

Example unit not working: <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· Ctrl +f10 reimage
