Dear Mrs. de Jongh,
In an informal poll of 57 high school students today, something along the lines of 95% of the students
said they would prefer a Windows tablet over a laptop or an iPad as a tool for their school work in
high school and in college.
Following the poll, our technology expert recommended the Microsoft Windows 5urface2 Tablet.
Below are the specs:
EFTA_R1_00404531
EFTA01943772
1) Has a USB port
2) Comes with an external keyboard included
3) Uses the Windows 8 operating system
4) Quick syncs to PCs running Windows
5) The department can provide MS Office to the students' tablets, he said
6) Has a micro SD card reader (for photos, etc off of phones)
7) Price per unit: $449
I wanted to get you some student•feedback as quickly as possible with regards to suggested hardware
for students. We truly appreciate in advance Southern Trust's generous gift of computers to students
in this competition!
Thank you,
Michael Harrigan
