Update re 2010 laptop cases.
Extract from letter from Dianne Marshall DER Program Director.
"After extensive discussions with Lenovo I am pleased to be able to provide the following advice:
· Lenovo will be providing replacement plastic cases to all schools at no cost. Deliveries will commence at the beginning of Term 3. Delivery will be co-ordinated directly with your TSO by Lenovo. Disposal of old plastic cases is at the discretion of principals, the students may wish to keep them.
· If a screen breaks on a laptop and there is no sign of physical damage, Lenovo will replace the screen as a warranty fault - at no cost. However, if there are dents, knocks, broken corners or other signs of negligence then the school will need to arrange a repair at the current rate.
· All blue 2010 Lenovo laptops should be distributed to students without the plastic case. Lenovo will honour warranty screen replacements provided the case is not used."
