We purchased 2 mobile labs with 30 laptops each since some of our classes can reach 28 students. To get the most bang for the buck I took a chance and went with CDI refurbs. It included a new cart, access point and 30 Dell Lattitude D620's with 2G ram for about $12,500 for each cart. The laptops have some normal surface wear, but in our environment thats not a big issue. At first glance they look new. So far I have had no issues with any of the 60 laptops. Teachers were thrilled we have a cart on each floor now.
