Our school is fortunate enough to be able to purchase a computer for each classroom. Instead of just buying a computer at our local Best Buy, I would like to direct you to Dell’s K-12 program. Dell provides a K-12 specialist to assist in making our computer meet our needs. A good starting point for our class room computer is the Dell Inspiron 546 priced at $1,391. Below are some of the features of the Inspiron 546:
• AMD Phenom™ II X4 945 (3.0GHz, 8MB) Processor
• 4GB Dual Channel Memory
• 500GB Serial ATA Hard Drive
• ATI Radeon HD 4350 512MB Video Card
• 16X CD/DVD Burner + Roxio
• Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card
• 21.5 inch monitor with webcam
• Microsoft® Office Home and Student 2007
• 24 Months of McAfee Security Protection
• Windows® 7 Operating System
• 1 Year Service Plan
This computer provides adequate memory for our students. It will allow students to make their own videos, type papers, play educational games. It will allow for teachers to keep online grade books, and print reports for parents. This unit provides strikes a balance between value and speed. I urge the board to take this computer into consideration and perhaps talk to the folks at Dell and read some of the case studies provided on their website to see how they can assist us in our educational needs.
