worked very well in our Library Lab as well as an English Lab. We are using
the L230's and are quite happy, the only downside to these is the video
rendering, when watching a video on Youtube or any other service, it has a
video lag inherent to the machine not your internet speed. This is because
the nComputing device only uses 10-15mb of network bandwidth to work, so
they sacrificed video performance.
Please let me know if you have any questions and i'd be happy to answer.
