Laptop Ownership Program (Grade 1 to 6)
January 13, 2012
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As a follow up to the December Elementary Laptop Program letter, I am pleased to announce that we have completed our selection process. After much negotiation with several PC vendors, the School has chosen Helix to provide a range of Lenovo laptops for our Laptop Ownership Program. Helix runs laptop ownership programs in seven of the eight Hong Kong universities. Lenovo has been the number one notebook provider in Hong Kong for thirteen consecutive years.
This ownership program is open to all Delia School of Canada families and alumni. Through this program, each family has the opportunity to purchase one laptop per student registered in the School and an additional unit for the family from the five selected Lenovo models.
The School has purchased 200 Lenovo Ultraportable ThinkPad X121e units for use in Grades 4 – 6. Elementary Section parents who wish to purchase a computer for student home use are encouraged to purchase the same model. Please be aware that, beginning in Grade 7, students are required to bring to school one of the five selected Lenovo models.
In addition to a significantly discounted purchase price, we have successfully negotiated a comprehensive bundle of options that include a payment plan, a three-year warranty, accidental damage coverage, and discounted priced software and accessories.
Parents are not required to purchase from Helix; however, in purchasing through Helix, parents will receive, in addition to the bundle of options, on-campus warranty, technical support, and accidental damage coverage with no deductible and a School-owned laptop loan unit during the repair period.
Please note the upcoming key dates:
· February 24, 2012 Program Launch – brochure with pricing and purchasing procedure
· March 01, 2012 On-lining Ordering Portal Opens with Enquiry Hotline
· March 05 – 09, 2012 Helix Road Show of Lenovo Laptops in the DSC Auditorium
· August 01, 2012 Deadline for Ordering for all Returning DSC Students
We look forward to seeing you at the Road Show.
Sincerely,
Patrick Lee
