Agree.isetan:
IT show is round the corner. Can see if any good hunt.
If you can, visit on the last day evening. You may find some good bargains. -

hubby insisted buying the laptop at the road show...definitely aligned with school requirements. saw some models with minimum specs at gain city at less than $1k but he refused...even challenger (his favourite shop) wasn't appealing.
Looking at the Asus models (or other prefer brands) offered in school, can make a comparison with external vendors (harvey norman, challenger...) and see if the latter offers similar promo bundling and pricing. Remember to check if the external vendors offer local & international warranties.
I know most students prefer to buy in school as the bundling is fairly attractive and there's that assurance that the specs will be aligned with school's requirements. The onus is on students to check if they buy from outside. -

That's great. After purchase, your son can then make appointment with school IT support to download the various softwares and programs that are relevant to his course. He must be excited.

hubby downloaded SP app into my mobile phone with son's knowledge, purely for the reason for me to know his time table so that i can make orthodontist appointments. -

Do all polys jointly call for a tender such that all laptops offered to the students are the same or each poly calls for its own tender.

Mr Bean:
i think every poly will call for tender for own students...not sure about that.

although i saw acer and asus laptops offered for this year's intake, the vendor is different from 2016.
