Saw the following in 'The Australian' today. "Chinese computer company Lenovo has won a contract to provide 200,000 laptops for NSW secondary school students. The NSW government has also announced agreements reached with software giants Microsoft and Adobe to provide an extensive suite of software for the laptops. The Lenovo contract, worth $150 million, includes 25,000 laptops for teachers. It will be funded as part of the federal government's $1.9 billion digital education program. Premier Nathan Rees said his government would contribute $25.5 million for the software, which he said would cost each student more than $5,500 if they were to purchase it in a store."
