POD the only tendered supplier of Mac stuff for schools is Scotsys, i just received a Mac pro desktop and Mac pro laptop from them and am more than pleased with the service they gave me, plus there prices arent to bad either.

This is the schools section of there website, if you cant find what your looking for contact Eamonn NI accounts Manager and he will more than likely get it for you.
 
Also if you have enough money try this http://www.apple.com/backtoschool/

Have just received a quote from Scotsys for a new iMac (for Music Dept) they're charging ?112.70 inc. VAT for a 3 year on site warranty.  Do any of think it's worth adding this to the price?  It takes the overall purchase price up a fair bit 'on site' means a lot too.  What do you think.

The only warranties I buy for the school are for the iMacs I can fix or replace most PC bits but a new imac almost no chance of fixing :'(
 
Also if it does break after 1 year you would look pretty silly telling them it will cost a fortune to fix and you cant do it.
 
The schools next question would be Why did you not take out a warranty :-[

If you get the warranty, it would make your life a lot easier in the long run. I have only had 1 issue with a mac here out of about 25 - 30 machines.

Thanks guys,  I would be the exact opposite, can repair most Apple stuff but avoid and evade PC machines!  Though the new iMacs are a bu**er to get in to, would much rather wait till it's 3 years downline before I have to open one up!  I think I'll advise them to take out the additional warranty then.  Have a good weekend all!
