We use Papercut Hive, had a few teething issues but been fine for last year or so. We're full cloud based and no servers

Yes but! You need an AI port https://uk.store.ui.com/uk/en/category/physical-security-nvr/products/up-ai-port We had Dahua and UniFi running side by side, slowly removing Dahua for UniFi, brought the AI port to see how the Dahuas would work in Protect instead of buying new unifi cameras but wasnt worth it in the end.

Moving from Dahua to UniFI currently, They now support Alarm Centre so now have a 3rd party monitoring company keeping an eye also

Augmented Reality?

Loved The Bone Temple, watching the number of the beast scene in the cinema was peak cinema for me

Cloud based backup, not used tapes for 10+ Years

Forgot to add: Worth noting a lot of manufacturers do 16 instead of 17 now due to the aspect ratio being 16:10 not 16:9

Not 17 but there is a HP Probook 4 G1i 16" that meets your specs or the HP 470 G10

26H2 already installed on my laptop and doing some testing FYI: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/whats-new-windows-11-version-26h2

Used to work in Private Schools, now in the Private Sector

All done remotely, i am doing 1 afternoon a week from home. Can do it from the office but would prefer the peace of home to focus on the work

Battery isnt as good as my M4 MacBook but it's easily all day (as in work day) not seen it go below 30% yet.

9 Days in, Only issue i have is my 10Gbe adapter doesn't support ARM, apart from that no issues!

Not a school but: CoPilot for general use, free tier (that comes with out licesning) Claude for heavy users, paid for business tier

Looked to move to Android tablets, the feedback was ermmmm.... terrible, we used Lenovo Tabs cant remember what Gen Lots of the Apps are even not supported or just painfully slow Shelf life of the tablets is a lot lower along with build quality.
