Does anyone have any recomendations as to which would be most beneficial in this case? Our agency issues over 300 laptops to healthcare workers that need to use a proprietary software at bedsides. We have been doing this for about five years now and the number of laptops that have been decommisioned due to spec upgrades, wear and tear, and just plain outdated technology is becoming costly and painful. Currently we are issuing IBM X31 Thinkpads due to their lightweight and reliability. We seem to be going through an entire model after only 1 1/2 to 2 years. This is becoming extremely costly. It is also becoming more and more difficult to resell laptops that are unformatted with no OS and no floppy or CDROM drives. We have begun leasing them from IBM Global Leasing, but I’m not sure this is going to save us anything but the hassle of disposing of them. Does anyone have any suggestions?
