Reducing Classroom Computer Costs

Reducing Classroom Computer Costs Take Advantage of the Exploding  Overstock Computer Industry Experts agree computers are an essential component of a child’s education, but today a new computer can cost nearly $1,000! So how is a school with a limited budget supposed to support computer technology with that kind of cost?  Open the Yellow Pages and find a company that specializes in overstock  computers!  Take advantage of this growing cottage industry out there that offers bargains in computer technology. Chris Beal, C.O.O. of InandOutComputers.com, specializes in helping schools find and purchase high quality, recent model computers.  Beal says that many schools can meet their technology needs without spending thousands of dollars for, more expensive equipment. “Each year companies like HP turn over millions of pieces of computer and related equipment making them available at a fraction of the cost.  Virtually any school in America can get more computers for a lot less money if they purchase overstock equipment,” Beal said. Beal offers some helpful advice for teachers and educational administrators to consider who are purchasing overstock or equipment:

• Establish a partnership with a company that specializes in overstock computer equipment.
• Qualify the company by making sure the company offers a warranty.  30 days is standard but often the original manufacture’s warranty will be applicable.
• Before you buy from a company, ask for references and check with the Better Business Bureau to make sure they have a good track record.

Purchasing quality computer equipment from a reputable reseller can help schools bridge the technology deficit created by limited budgets.  “But many schools are getting stuck with poor equipment for failing to properly qualify the company they are dealing with,” said Beal.  “With some simple but important checking, schools can get more computers in the classroom for a lot less money!” For additional information, visit www.InandOutComputers.com.
