Apple Loses Out To Dell
(US) Henrico County's school board to dump Apple in favour of Dell—the contract is worth $17 million and covers 15,800 laptops. Four years ago, Apple and Henrico struck a deal drawing national attention for being one of the first initiatives to give every middle and high school student a laptop.
The decision has been made due to financial issues, 'We're going to be over budget $59,000 a year with Dell. With Apple, it would have been well over a million dollars,' says Henrico Schools Superintendent Fred Morton.
Surely, it would've been within Apples interest to absorb the extra costs to ensure their products are being used by potential future customers (and their families)?
