sidewinder

This has been in the school for 10+ years, it's very very solid and just a bit too big these days. It holds up to 10 laptops/chromebooks, I'd say up to 15 inch. This is the exact model - https://www.lapcabby.com/en/products/lapcabby-10-vertical/ It has extension leads inside where chargers can be hidden away and cable tied down to the dividers. Collection only from Richmond, Greater London. I doubt this would fit in most cars - maybe an estate with the seats down but otherwise you'll need a van.

All taken now, thanks Jama

As listed in this thread over 2(!) years ago...got rid of one and forgot about the rest. I will check they power on if anyone does want one but they should be fine. Collection from Richmond Upon Thames. There are 2 balance boxes that allow the screens to slide up and down (manual) that can be included if desired but I don't know about fittings for them. Otherwise mounts can be found easily, just need to ensure they support the weight!

We've had this in our Nursery for a number of years now, but they no longer have room for it. It was working but recently keeps giving CMOS checksum errors - as there is no keyboard usually attached it makes it hard to get past. Changing the CMOS battery seems to help but then it quickly happens again. The good news is that the PC module appears to an OPS format so it should be replaceable with a more modern unit. Probably more of a project than a ready to go piece of kit for a school. Specs here - https://downloads.smarttech.com/media/sitecore/en/support/product/smarttable/442i/specs/specst442iv30jan13.pdf Would need to be collected from Richmond in SW London

Very sorry, I thought i had been checking the notifications but clearly not well enough! They are still available to anyone who is able to collect them

Happy to let these go for free if anyone is able to collect!

We have 4 Smart 4065 "interactive" displays which we have taken out of rooms this summer. They work fine as displays but the touch is problematic on all 3 - this is why they were replaced. They work fine as screens, just not interactively (in reality the touch does work but not reliably enough for classroom use - they often miss touches and pen strokes - it was common with these models) Specs here - https://support.smarttech.com/docs/hardware/displays/smart-board-4000-and-e70/en/about/specifications/spnl-4065.cshtml They don't come with any mounts, so you will need to sort those out but they should all have remotes and pens. Collection only from Richmond, SW London. They are obviously very heavy and large - 2 are in boxes from the replacement screens which should make them slightly easier to pack in a van but otherwise anyone who picks them up will be responsible for ensuring they can transport them safely. Happy for these to go for free now as long as you can collect them!

Been great for us, installed last summer replacing an old Ruckus setup. Few issues with APs going offline for a while but this has improved a lot with recent firmware updates - pretty rock solid now. We use a Cloud Key 2 for the controller, no issues.

But surely that's true for many pupils right now unless you have a 1-1 scheme - most are using their own or parents computers. We aren't being difficult and refusing to support them because it's not school owned equipment. It is a bit of a nightmare trying to decipher whether the issue is related to Google Classroom or their PC at home, but it's just the reality of things at the moment.

I put in a forecast including all annual commitments + upgrades/maintenance/nice to haves + a contigency and generally get all that granted - some things I will be asked to defer until the next year or not to go ahead with for various reasons, but if it is something I can argue the case for (infrastructure, backups, anything vital) I will generally get the money. I'm incredibly lucky that I work in an independent school that really does budget for IT, and takes it seriously. We're relatively small, and only have a few computer suites, but have a lot of mobile devices, and separate geographical sites which does increase costs. I really feel for many on here being asked to do everything for virtually nothing

Sorry for the slow reply, yes you're welcome to come and collect one next week along with whichever accessories you want. Drop me a pm

Not huge (<100mb), and yes we have G Suite. Just wasn't sure if that was an acceptable way of sharing this data? That or uploading to our website would both be easier than signing up for something for what is hopefully a rare occurrence.

We have a number of Smartboards which are being replaced this year and I thought I would offer them on here before sending them for recycling. There are at least 6 or 7, mostly 660's but possibly 1 or 2 smaller or larger. All with pen trays, also spare pen trays, tons of spare pens etc. Probably some projectors too. They will all be taken down by the end of the coming week - if anyone would be interested in collection? They would need to be gone by the end of August. We are in Richmond, South West London.

We recently received a SAR - the data collection, collation and redaction has all been done but now I'm not sure of the best way to provide this data to the individual? They have requested it digitally. I imagine email (the files are too big anyway) is a no-no so do we need some sort of secure document portal that only they can access? I've looked all over and I can't find any detail about the recommended way to do this, it's all very vague. Can anyone recommend a service? We don't mind paying. Unfortunately everything I've found so far is just 'Book a demo!' - we need it a bit more urgently than that - preferably something I can sign up for there and then.

Yes, we have had them at our school for a number of years. In terms of the operation of the camps, they are usually fine. And once the installations have been done we don't have a lot to do with them. The issue is the huge amount of time it takes to install all their software, then image PCs back for school use at the end of the holiday. PM me if you want to chat in detail about them.
