The government has commissioned a contractor to supply these to all the schools in England and it turns out they haven’t done it properly. I would not be surprised if the next thing we will find out is that the company that provided these laptops is owned by a friend or family member of whoever the politician is that’s in charge of this as our current government is incompetent and deeply corrupt.
It doesn't make sense to skimp on these devices. The amount of value that a £420 laptop could have provided is much greater than whatever this thing is.
It's like the boots quote from that disc world book. If it is cheap and crap you will buy it again and again. If it is expensive and good you'll keep it for a long time. Especially nowadays when Intel fails to improve performance of laptops.
