About getting a poly laptop... SP
-
SP in particular...
would it be better to get a laptop thru the poly's special packages or any laptop externally outside ones which i can find in sls or funan or any other com store? as those outside have better performance and are more customizable...
what i'm afraid is that those bought internally via the poly's cheap lappie packages have already some pre-set configs inside the laptop and some pre-installed software which i really need. -

The differences between getting n poly and outside is:
Getting in poly is cheaper, getting from outside you can customise the specification.
About software and stuffs, the school will provide you whether you buy your laptop from sch or outside.
If buy from sch, the software is already in it. If buy from outside, you have to waste a bit of your time for the sch to install the softwares in your laptop.
If window vista, the sch will re-install the whole laptop to win xp. That is how much poly hate vista.
Total installation time can be up to 6 hrs, be prepared. -
IDA Tender laptops are pretty good...

santa rosa intel core 2 duo processor...standalone GPU....bang for the buck,....

IT Support and Tech Corner
Laptops offered by institutions are pre-tendered with the required specs by the school.... respective companies such as Diversetec, Asiapac, Lenovo, Acer...etc would then offer their wares...
The school is actually purchasing from tenders....thats y quite cheap..plus it is given 3 year warranty whereas outside oni get 1 unless u pay more -

as for the softwares that has to be included in the installation together with os, if say i already have the xp, vista original os + ms office xp/2003/2007, i can always install by myself rite?
and if i were to get my poly to install for me, will it be done before admissions/orientation time? so that it won't affect when i've already started classes. -
