We have been dealing with a number of schools at Stone that are coming up with the same issue, The CCTV with in bathrooms is always a very weird conversation that people never really know the best way to move forward but regarding vape hot spots we are working alongside verkada at present to help assist with this you can contact me on 01785 786886 to discuss. Cheers,

Been a really cool thread guys. , If anyone is interesting in hearing Chris' star turn, you can view that podcast episode on Soundcloud, iTunes, Tune In and Stitcher. It's episode #004.

Might be worth you checking out our upcoming webinar on Stone Unity, a new solution for MATs we have developed using pretty cool blend of converged storage, Azure, EMS and other cool stuff. We have some strong support from Microsoft and there's a free Linx tablet for taking part. More info and the webinar link at Stone Unity.

Thanks for all of the support. It means a lot to our team of 250 people we have in Stafford, and we all love working with you guys

Hi Tony, Initially when our dormant holding companies were put into administration on the 18 August, there were some problems with credit insurance agencies. When a business within a group is put into administration, the credit insurers put the shutters down pretty quickly while they figure out what's going on. We'd made some great progress in this area until a couple of days ago and the article in The Register. Our CEO Simon has spoken with CRN to put our view across in response. Our accounts have just been signed off by a third party auditor. I'll post a link up later on this thread. If you're into that kind of thing you can take a read, or if your Head/Bursar/Business Manager wants some comfort, then you can send them over to them. The performance is really strong and we're really proud of what we've achieved as a business. Hopefully this will provide the assurance that everyone will need. Cheers, Daley

This is the damaging and frustrating thing with false media reports. Our business is in great health, yet unscrupulous sales people from other businesses use it as propaganda to scare customers away from us. It's business as usual here. We've got Toshiba in today. They've bought red and white balloons in and everything!

We had a couple of account managers leave in quick succession in 2013. We didn't do an effective job of managing the transition. I'm sorry for this as I know in some cases it was poor. We've made changes to the way we communicate new account managers, and we're told it's been positive. Hopefully you will engage with us again in the future. Daley

Yes, you've got a mix of Business Finance Land and Legal Land, which is always going to end up with lots of long words and topics that are difficult to explain. I'm a Director who's been here for 5 years and it's taken me a while to get my head around it! Dom is great. I love him.

Sorry to hear about this experience. Is this something I can help address now? I don't like to hear about this stuff.

Hi guys, Just a note on this article. We're in the process of getting the articled changed, and a correction being posted, as it is factually incorrect. Stone Computers Ltd, the business that supports your technology, buys products and services from other businesses and pays our wages is owned by Granite One Hundred Holdings. What does this mean? It means that this process that Stone Bidco is going through does not affect our core business and we will continue to operate successfully for many years to come. You are still fully supported. All suppliers continue to be paid on time and in full. And we are all still getting wages in our bank. That will not change. Your business, your money, your products and services are safe with us - this corporate finance stuff has no bearing on our ability to work with customers and partners. Stone's team, from the boardroom to the factory floor, will remain the same. Everybody is, as always, 100% focused on delivering the best service and value. The manner in which this process is progressing is completely normal and there's nothing untoward occurring. We are working with our investors, administrators and financial advisers to get the company in the best shape it can be. If you have any specific questions, please speak to your account manager. Alternatively, I'm happy to personally speak to any of you. Cheers, Daley

Thanks for the recommendations. Would really love the opportunity to quote for your requirements. Dropping you a PM

@%1;, we're looking at tweaking the Ts and Cs formally in the coming weeks to accommodate for situations whereby the charge degrades at an above average rate over the 3 years period. We'll be writing to all notebook customers once this is in place.

Hopefully we can be competitive!

Hi all @SovietRussia is right, it is the W550EU. Just to clear up a few things: There is no lottery with any of our products, whether Desktop or Notebook. We have a robust testing process undertaken in our Stafford based R & D department prior to any product being signed off and formally accepted into our range. Just to give you an idea, all notebooks: - Have the chassis and components run at 100% over multiple days in a 35 degree ambient chamber to simulate the highest intensity the product will face in its life - Are subject to data transfer testing (e.g. all the components communicate correctly) - Are hinge tested - this tests the reliability of the hinges repeatedly testing the flipping of the lid and its connectivity to the C Panel of the laptop Also, in terms of field testing, we undertake pretty thorough product evaluations of samples with our existing customers prior to launching any revision. The NT310 is codenamed "UltraNote" from Clevo, as it has an Ultrabook style thin and light chassis. But as it's not branded an "Ultrabook", OEMs don't have to comply with the strict Intel rules on what consistitutes a "Ultrabook". These means you get a bespoke device, custom built to your requirements for considerably less than a similar "Ultrabook" branded device. It's got more flexible plastic due to being thinner and lighter. This is a durable plastic that won’t break or shatter unless mistreated. As @Edu-IT rightly points out, if the device breaks through standard operation, then it will be covered under warranty. However, we go through all the steps highlighted above to make sure this happens in line with what we can support through our field engineers. We can't have any rogue products in the line up! Cheers Daley
