Hi
<p>We purchased laptops, about 12 months ago from Optima and also a trolley.
Laptops have been excellent, (and have siince purchased more), and trolley
was pretty good. You can get trolleys for around $1000-1200 (that's what
we purchased via Optima), that are fine but lack some of the functionallity
of more expensice trolleys. The trolley itself is well made has an area
athe top to keep the power supplies and is lockable, the wheels are goos
and it moves about easily. Main issue is to lock it you have a removable
bar that runs down the front and when it is unlocked all the laptops can
be taken out. In hind sight and better for our usage patterm would be the
ability to have more flexibility in the locking device. A better option
which is not much more expensive is a hindged door on the front that can
be easily opened and shut after one of more laptoips have been taken out.
(our bar tends to be left off for the day due to the nuisance factor of
putting it back on each time.

getting some laptops for our new Year 9 program next year. Has anyone
got any bright ideas about trolleys and storage options (some of the trolleys
are around the $4000- $5000 mark to store 20 laptops) that aren't too exhorbitant?
It would also be good if the supplier was Melbourne metro area.</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>thanks
