\nThere's also 3 year warranty plan which costs extra and that covers everything, even accidental drops by students. Basic warranty is 1 year. That's pretty much standard for all computer companies. Apple does have better than average phone tech support, which is unlimited for education. Dell or HP support is pretty bad.

\nWhen we lease computers from them for 3 years, at the end of the lease period we can buy them for a dollar :)","dateCreated":"1274020493","smartDate":"May 16, 2010","userCreated":{"username":"mtrela","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/mtrela","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]},{"id":"24056901","dateCreated":"1273683595","smartDate":"May 12, 2010","userCreated":{"username":"mtrela","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/mtrela","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/urstechcomm.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/24056901"},"dateDigested":1532175012,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Replacing Maclab with new iMac computers vs. creating a semi mobile environment with Macbooks in the library","description":"Cons and pros.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"24197097","body":"Hi Marek,
\nI feel we need to look at long range cost effectiveness. Also, will our current software be adaptable to the new Macs?
\nI hope this works!!!

\nThank you for contributing. I agree, looking at long range is also critical. Do you feel that laptops are less cost effective?
\nFrom the perspective of primary grade teachers do you feel that white Macbooks need to be replaced?

\nYes, current software will be compatible. We actually have new version of Kidpix that would work perfectly on any new Mac. Kidspiration is also compatible everywhere and Pages may be more kid friendly than Word (although Word would most likely be installed)","dateCreated":"1273958629","smartDate":"May 15, 2010","userCreated":{"username":"mtrela","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/mtrela","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
