APMerry Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 We've had AIO's in the IT suites for a good few years now. We used to buy a lot of RM One's but now moving to Lenovo's to replace them. I think AIO's are the way to go for classrooms.
Mr_Jiminy Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 +1 for the Dell OptiPlex 3011, good build and reliable. We've been advising edu clients buy them since there release, mainly for student use. It's worth pointing out that I don't think they come with any form of video out, which rules them out of use with a whiteboard or digital screen. I have Dell Vostro 360, the 3011 is a far better build. I also recommend the Pro Support warranty if you do purchase, this will provide next business day warranty coupled with easy-peasy fault logging.
VeryPC_Colin_M Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Ooo - you didn't offer me stickers or badges - is it too late?? Never too late, but there is a Minimum Order Quantity.
Hefferzzzz Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Lenovo or Dell for me. Tried custom ones before and the quality and service just wasnt there at all. I also like the fact that I can get 3 suppliers quoting on the same thing which makes it a lot easier and found both to be a lot cheaper (£70-£90 per machine!) recently with the technology access licencing(?) promo thing.
robjduk Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Just got our first Dell 9020 today and although very fast (the i5 one), I was not impressed with the styling of it. Felt a little cheap and heavier than it needed to be. Dosnt help that we have a few new iMacs in the office at the moment but just was underwhelmed by it.
Asgard Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 +1 for the Stone AIO's with stand upgrade with integrated cable management
snagrat Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Have you seen the Fujtisu X913 and X923. Very slick looking machines
Michael Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Best advice is buy one or get one on loan and see what components you can upgrade or more to the point what you can replace (worse case scenario). The ease of opening and closing a AIO is also important. Some AIO's I've come across really are hybrids, consisting of SO-DIMM memory (used in notebooks/netbooks), but utilises a 3.5" hard disk when you may have expected a 2.5" to reduce the overall size.
