Re: Another netbook question

Our plan is similar to Tami's. We are purchasing 3 year warranties and will be using the Lenovo S10e.

Year 1 - grade 5 - netbooks will stay at school
Year 2 - grade 6 - first semester stay at school - may possibly go home for limited times during second semester
Year 3 - grade 7 - students will use both at school and at home

At the end of 7th grade, our families will purchase a tablet for use in grades 8-12. Lenovo offers a five-year warranty on our tablets. We are finding that the Lenovo laptops work just fine for four years with the memory maxed out and we are extending
some into a fifth year again this year. I know it makes a lot of people very nervous but to us it seems a shame to get rid of machines that are still fast enough and doing what we need them to do.
