School opts for Windows 7 tablets over iPad
The schools will be going with the Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 tablets, with a 10” display and will be powered by Intel’s Oak Trail platform clocked at 1.5GHz. Supposedly the tablet is more rugged compared to the iPad and is said to be able to withstand drops and will last longer in backpacks, ultimately reducing the amount of repairs needed and will help maintenance costs down.
The enterprise tools that come with Windows 7 will also make it easier for IT managers to remotely manage the laptops, plus the stylus and the 8 hour battery life of the Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 helped to clinch the deal, but it was admitted that Windows 7 is not as optimized compared to iOS or Android when it comes to the tablet experience, although Windows 8 should be changing that mindset.
