Laptop Purchase Program

While the District will provide laptops for checkout by any student, LVUSD is also working with a local partner, STS Education, to provide parents with the opportunity to purchase a personal device for their children. Purchasing a laptop not only helps LVUSD sustain the technology program, but also offers students the ability to have the same laptop year round (district laptops must be returned at the end of the school year), to decorate them any way they see fit (no stickers or any other customization is allowed on a district device), use any carrying case they might want, and to develop a sense of ownership that helps to ensure better care of the device. Please note that purchasing a laptop is not required - the district will provide loaner laptops for checkout at the school library for those students who do not bring their own. Loaner laptops will likely have been used by prior students and will be similar, but not necessarily the same as those listed on the web site.

The  latest device that the District uses is the Asus BR1102FGA-YS14T. Designed with classroom environments in mind, these devices have touch screens and feature a ruggedized design with a rubber strip that frames the chassis and protects them from unexpected bumps and drops. A solid 360 degree hinge can take on up to 25,000 swings, while the cover can withstand up to 132 lbs of pressure. The keyboard is spill-resistant with a water drainage design that protects against accidental spills. It doesn't need a fan, so it's whisper-quiet and runs cool. Both are slender, light, and deliver long battery life for portable computing with great productivity.

Specifications are as follows:

 Even though this device is extremely durable, we recommend that you purchase a padded sleeve or case for your child to carry the laptop in, in order to prevent unnecessary bumps and bruises. If you would like a full featured case, the Bump Armor CB Slim Hard Shell case w/ Shoulder Strap is a good one, with specifications as follows:

In addition, many parents have requested a mouse to go with their laptops. While there are several wireless options available, we recommend a wired mouse so as to avoid interference with other students should they be brought to school. The District's partner offers special pricing on the Logitech B100 Wired Optical Mouse at $7.50. We have tested this mouse and found it to perform well with the laptops.
