With more and more school districts using
subcompact notebooks (netbooks or UMPCs)
as part of their daily curriculum,
concerns about security and convenient use have been raised by teachers
and technology directors. Small, light
and in-demand, netbooks are especially
vulnerable to theft and this is a great
concern in institutional settings.
Portable recharging systems compatible with
the netbooks have not been universally
available and many users stick them in
large notebook carts that were not
designed for their use.
DATAMATION SYSTEMS,
the nation’s leading provider of
notebook security carts, can now help
you secure netbooks, recharge them and
transport them in easy-to-use carts and
cabinets, the first of their kind created from the
ground up to address the practical needs
of the educational environment.
With its new “Gather ‘Round” design, the
32-mini cart cart allows students to access netbooks
from both front and back sides, making
classroom management better than ever.
Holding up to 32 devices
(depending on size and battery) in a compact,
easy to move footprint, students can get
to their technology tools and put them
away quickly and easily. The cart’s
drill resistant, pick-proof two-point
locking mechanism protects the netbooks
when they are not in use. It provides
outlets for recharging netbook batteries
and for peripherals.
The cart has been sized to be compatible
with all major manufacturers, including
the most commonly used subnotebooks: the
Dell Latitude 2100,
Dell Mini 9, 10 and 12, Lenovo IdeaPad,
ASUS Eee, HP Mini-Note and Mini 2140,
MSI Wind, Acer Aspire One, Samsung NC10,
even the XO (OLPC).
If a particular
school’s technical requirements change,
the cart’s interior can be reconfigured
to change models and provide convenient
storage for accessories or even a
multi-battery charger.
The new DS-NSC-32-MINI is available from
major computer companies and directly
from Datamation Systems.
