20160720-ES_Teacher_Laptops

Home‎ > ‎Request for Proposals(Quote Request)‎ > ‎

I had the principal happy, but the super seems to be allergic to commas, so unfortunately I have to ask for new quotes (I need the total price {laptop, shipping, tax, etc} for each laptop to be below $1,000). But, there is good news - the elementary principal wants to get each elementary teacher a new laptop. We would like to get a quote for thirty nine(39) Lenovo Laptops for teacher/office use (you may void the previous quotes).

I wanted to get away from the Edge (I hate the trackpad), but I must have a VGA port and the teachers need an optical drive (some of them play DVDs on their computer for classroom use). The Windows OS installed will not matter. The first thing I will do is delete all partitions on the hard drive and install Windows 10 Education. The EES agreement says I have to purchase windows, but any version should do.

I think the Lenovo ThinkPad E560 comes with an optical DVD drive and a VGA port, if not please select a model that does have an optical drive and VGA out.

If I can, I need to get something with an Intel Core i5-6200 processor, 8GB ram, VGA port, and optical drive, both wired and wireless networking, and a three(3) year warranty.

We would like to get a quote for eight(8) Lenovo Laptops for teacher/office use. Something like the Lenovo Thinkpad T560 if the trackpad is good. I do not want a laptop trackpad like the Edge E431 where the trackpad travels up and down just like a key on the keyboard. I would like to order something with a good trackpad, like the ones found on a chromebook (i.e. Lenovo Yoga 11e Chromebook).

The Windows OS installed will not matter. The first thing I will do is delete all partitions on the hard drive and install Windows 10 Education. The EES agreement says I have to purchase windows, but any version should do.

As for printing the T560 configuration, Lenovo's website leaves much to be desired regarding screen shots/printing builds. I much prefer Dell's website as you can configure a build, then a single page will appear with everything on the computer (both stock and what was changed/added) for capturing/printing.

To configure the laptop on the lenovo site, go to Lenovo.com and click on "Products", then "Laptops": http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/?menu-id=laptops

On this page I click on "Thinkpad T": http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/

On this page I click on the "T560": http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/t560/

On this page I click on "View or Customize, then "Customize & Add": http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/t560/#SYSTEM

Chang3 the memory from 4GB to 8GB on the configuration page and warranty to 3yr Depot on the warranty page. Now the price shows to be $971.10.
