When deploying devices, we often replace retiring devices and place them in a ‘Surplus Area’ at a school location. We have included a table below of various models* which would ideally be replaced, or at a minimum, retired from usage as a primary instructional/testing device/workstation. Please use this as a reference to help encourage replacement vs supplementing an existing outdated device. Below, we have condensed a table for PC and macOS platforms. Please check the following if you are evaluating Chromebooks or iPads. (Links incoming for Chromebooks/iPads.)
A couple of notes regarding the included table:
- All are beyond manufacturer’s warranty and also exceed Technology’s supported hardware range.
- The majority devices listed are hardware which is approaching at least 7+ years old.
- If not already apparent, these devices do not offer an ideal experience for End-Users.
- Hardware requirements have increased over the past several years, the list includes many models
which do not meet recommended hardware requirements for various requested software or Testing applications.
