Free School laptops

[Mohenjo]

My High school gives every student a lenovo yoga 13. I am just curious if your school gives you laptops and what model?

[Enderman]

No.

I went to uni, they did sell laptops with excellent prices and free licenses, but free ones is way past that. Then again tuition in this country is reasonably low.

[ZetZet]

Wow, you're lucky. Then again I go to university for free.

The high school I used to go to handed out "free" Dell Precision laptops. They weren't really free but the price was down from 3000 dollars to 200 dollars so they were pretty much free. It's a popular thing to do for a lot of technical high schools here.

The advantages of having a school funded by Microsoft i guess. there nice but just for the school year and you know the whole blockage of everything that's fun, which is understandable.

[Jade]

Nope. Every device in the school is a iMac, Macbook Pro, or Mac mini, though.

My uni still uses CRT monitors, windows xp, some 2000's computers and doesn't have cloud service. So yeah, no such things for us.

High school? Dang.

 

The only time I've heard of this is either with very specific programs, or, a for-profit school like ITT Tech.

I'm living at TamilNadu, India. One Political party announced that If they won election then every student who is studying High school will get laptop. And they won. They gave laptops.

Lenovo B460E

Acer E1-431

HP Pavilion G4

HCL Entry level

All the laptops were configured with Pentium Dual Core (mixed generations), 2GB RAM, 160GB or 250GB HDD, but no Wi-Fi and DVD Burner!

Anyway they gave us pretty nice configuration. But the build quality was some what good.

You know they are giving it for free. So its like that!

I got my hopes up with promises of free macbook pros for all students. Of course the school never got the money for that. We had some pretty kickass iMacs for video editing/3D rendering though.

[Guest Philosophy]

I went to online school through highschool. and yes they did provide either laptop or desktop which ever you preferred. The desltop had a i7 and the laptop had an i3 both had 8gb ram and built in graphics. not bad for school stuff at the time (2 years ago)

[OfficialJsP]

well it depends i have been offered one before from my school because i am dyslexic

Our video teacher only allows us to use macs for editing which inst very good because there are 35 kids in that class and 10 macs we can use, which i think is kind of a shame because we have these laptops and were not putting them to good enough use.

I got our school to buy 10 rasberry pis

I got our school to buy 10 rasberry pis

for a robotics club i went to we had to buy our own raspberry pis but we made these cool gauntlet computers some kid suggested we do, they were pretty kick ass until there was no real use for them and they were uncomfortable as balls lol 

[Mohenjo]

We still have to use ancient dell laptops that take about 15 mins to boot up.

thats what we had last year. they were horrible 1gb ram, running xp, there were slow as balls. then we got this huge upgrade.

[Clyne]

I'm still using 3570s or 3770s all in ones.

[Giraffackle]

Yeah, we get macbook airs, which sucks

[iphoneface]

They give a Samsung Chromebook 2 to every student in my school, Although you can't take it home unless you pay a $50 deposit.

im not a big mac fan but i would actually prefer mac for school purposes. Some nice video editing programs and such.

we dont have a deposit but if you lose the pen that comes with the pc its a 60 dollar fine. plus you really need that pen for math and such.
