Henrico’s New Dell Laptops
Jon Maddox gives us an update on Henrico County's woes after switching to Dell and dumping their iBooks. All I have to say is: I'm GLAD it is happening to them. SUCKS TO BE HENRICO. Now FIRE every idiot that was involved in the decision making process to go all Dell. There's nothing better than watching your tax dollars being thrown in the garbage I tell you...
Henrico’s New Dell Laptops:After a much publicized move from Apple iBooks to Dell Laptops, it looks the Henrico county school system isn't having much fun with the Dells.This is what I've heard from a buddy of mine that works hand in hand with the computers.
About 100 dells are reimaged each week in henrico and after 5 months, the Dells have the same amount of laptops being sent in for repairs as we did once the iBooks turned 4 years old.
Wow, well no one saw that coming. Duh. We all know that Dell laptops are made very very "cost effectivly" and couldn't last one year under the stress of high school students. Especially when they know they aren't theirs. Thats one of the reasons Negroponte wants the $100 laptop to be owned by its users, so they last longer.
And like Gruber said "PCs typically cost less than Macs because they're pieces of crap, not because Intel CPUs are less expensive than IBM's or Freescale's."
