XMA Ltd – predominantly an IT and Print solution re-seller to public and private sectors across the UK – are providing laptops at less than cost price.
So far, they have managed to help over 400 charities, councils, schools, and other organisations with this initiative. As part of their Corporate and Social Responsibility, they are supplying part-funded laptops to anyone where there would be a social value or benefit though their digital poverty mission to “Connect The UK”.
The Tactus Geobook laptops are in stock and come fully loaded with Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Education, a 2-year warranty and are discounted to just £84 per device. They are also offering HP Chromebooks with Chrome OS and 1-year manufacturer’s warranty at just £99.60 per device.
Pete Jones, Group Scout Leader of 1st Esclusham, has purchased 3 laptops for his Group (pictured above) – one for him, one for the Team member who manages OSM and one for the Group Treasurer, and he highly recommends them.
