Dear All
 
I am currently looking for quotes for a laptop trolley - a thrall through the Internet found the following suppliers who I have contacted - only the last one is in Ireland. Can anyone point me in other directions - feel free to contact me off list if that is more appropriate.
 
 
Many thanks
Clare

Peter Walsh & Sons Kilkenny - they have a site!
Found people in wexford aswell.
Bear in mind the entire weight when full sometimes lockable lockers with power supplies works

Hi Clare,

Some info already on previous CESI postings:
http://groups.google.com/group/cesi-list/browse_thread/thread/6d3ff0267382ee96

Also, Sord.ie have listings of the Lapbank at
http://www.sord.ie/index.php?cust=Education

Look for 'smart charging units' (with auto cut off) and watch out for the
weight factor also: some of these are great for storage in a room but you
may not want to be hauling them along corridors and over door saddles!

HTH,
David

Dear All,
Further to Clares email.

I just want to know are schools aware of the Procurement Scheme launched in Sept. 2009 in Navan Education Centre?

There are almost 40 schools in the scheme and it saves both time and money searching for such items.

We have done a survey of over 300 items and have achieved an average saving of 37% off Reseller pricing.

This is NOT a commercial site it is YOUR scheme for schools.

We are just facilitating the scheme

We are NOT promoting any specific product.

The scheme provides over 55,000 products and has turned over €160,000 in the first few months.

We estimate that the 40 members have saved around €94,000 between them in that period.

I stress again I am NOT promoting any specific product here.

Hope this is of interest.

Joe Halpin

Hi,
here's a Laptop Trolley requirements spec that we issued a while back.
There are quite a few suppliers selling Laptop trollies, but there is quite a variation in prices and quality also.
A 16 unit model will be much more light and movable than the heavier versions.
 
Some of the functions we'd recommended for schools are:
  • Power management system including a quality integrated surge protection (ie to avoid over charging of laptops)
  • Thermostatically controlled fans (one is required , two is better - ie in case one ever fails)
  • Raised rim on top unit surface Anti-slip mat on top unit surface (to safely carry teachers laptop, printer, or portable wireless access point)
  • An useful option is an Integrated network LAN switch for software updates to each of the 16 laptops
  • Min 3 year warranty.

Here is a a template recommended minimum requirements spec. Some companies responded saying they met these requirements when in fact they didn't, so schools need to be careful.

regards

Tom
