Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about Products

What features are important in a school environment?

The two most important features are battery life and weight.

Battery: Most schools don't want students charging their units during the day so you need at least a 7 hour battery to get through the day.
Weight: It is generally recommended that any notebook that a student is taking to and from school should be no more than 2KG as otherwise it will add too much weight to their bags.

Other important features

Wireless: Most schools operate what is known as a 5Ghz or Dual Band Wireless network - most notebooks we sell ship with 5Ghz Dual Band Wireless.
Screen Size: Choosing a screen size depends on how your child is going to use the unit. If it is primarily for information research such as web browsing and basic office applications a 10 or 11.6" screen will suffice. If the student is going to do more project work on the device a larger screen may be appropriate.
Processor: This affects the performance of the unit in order of slowest to fastest processors go - Intel Atom, Celeron, Pentium Dual Core, Core i3, i5, i7. As a rule if you a doing web browsing and basic office applications then Atom, Celeron and Pentium Dual Core are fine if you are doing more intensive project work then choose a Core i processor.

What is a solid state drive?
Solid State Disks is a new technology replacing old mechanical disks. These disks are up to 5 times faster than older style disks and are less likely to fail as they don't have moving parts. They do cost more and give you less storage space though.
