Our client needed an affordable, energy efficient way to upgrade to Windows 11 friendly computers.

A private school based in Walsall required 33 new PCs for their schools classrooms and computer lab.

The school's laptops were outdated, and were unable to support Windows 11. This was a huge problem with Windows 10 End of Life on the horizon! Without new machines, the school would not be able to upgrade, and would therefore miss out on all free security patches and updates once Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 10 in October.

The team at Vibrant networks supplied 33 Grade A Refurbished Lenovo M920q PCs, with 26 being installed in the school's computer lab, and 7 being installed in classrooms across the rest of the school.

We also upgraded 40 existing laptops, PCs and Microsoft Surfaces up to Windows 11, allowing them to access the latest upgrades Microsoft made for Windows 11 users.

We considered the school's ESG goals and the goals to lower their carbon emissions by supplying and installing refurbished energy saving grade A Lenovo PCs and new monitors. This not only lowered carbon emmissions but also gave a second life to PCs that already have been utrilsed thus saving 152KG of Carbon Emmissions per PC. 

The school saved a total of 4500KG Carbon emission approximately by utilsing grade A refurbished equipment. 

The school now benefits from modern, up to date computers that are updated to Windows 11. Their energy bills are lower thanks to our energy efficient laptops and screens, and no longer have to worry about Windows 10 End of Life.

We not only reduced carbion foot print fo rthe school we also save space in the classroom, making it clutter free and more space for teh student to do their work as well as making the PCs more secure by mounting them behind the screens so student cannot tamper with them.
