The Lenovo Laptop
Why DET chose this laptop
Your child's new laptop has been custom-designed for school use. It's robust, compact and lightweight, and fits easily into a school bag. But don't be deceived by its size. It supports a full range of leading software, has plenty of storage and lots of memory.
The laptops are wireless enabled, which means they can be used to connect to the internet in the library, the playground and in the classroom.
Built-in security means your child can't access unauthorised internet content. Your child can also use their school laptop to access the web safely from home if you have an internet connection at home.
The laptops will be remotely monitored and managed wherever they are. What's more, a stolen laptop can be disabled and the thieves tracked and prosecuted. These safety measures protect your child by removing any incentive for theft.
The 2012 DER-NSW Learning Device project has begun in earnest with an additional 63,000 laptops expected to be delivered to schools across the state at the start of the 2012 school year.
This will be the fourth consecutive rollout under the Commonwealth Government’s DER program, bringing the total DER-NSW fleet to 250,000 learning devices and completing the 1:1 ratio for all DEC students currently in years 9 to 12.
DER-NSW project manager, Sally Webster, said the team has again worked closely with a wide range of stakeholders to identify a learning device with curriculum appropriate software that will meet the learning needs of DEC students.
2012 Lenovo Thinkpad, will have a distinct metallic silver finish to identify it as the 2012 DER-NSW device, again a colour unique to DEC and unavailable for purchase elsewhere. It retains the larger 11.6” high resolution screen that was introduced with the 2011 device and offers a range of enhancements, including:
