What is the Expected Working Lifetime of a Tablet PC at CCDS?
We plan for tablet PCs purchased at CCDS to have a useful working lifetime of four years. This coincides well with our academic program: a new tablet would typically be purchased for students entering fifth and ninth grade, so that two tablets would suffice for a student’s tenure in grades 5–12 at CCDS. Having said this, it is important to point out that users must take proper care of their machines to achieve this longevity. In our experience, higher than usual wear and tear is the most common reason for a computer to last less than four years.
