• CANZ computers range between:

(a)   basic machines that effectively handle email, internet browsers and ‘office’ productivity tools; and

(b)   faster machines recently retired from corporate life that can run up to high-end graphics applications.

• Under the Ministry of Education’s licence arrangement with Microsoft, the CANZ refurbisher can pre-load your school’s machines with Windows XP Pro, at no extra charge. Or the computers may be delivered to a specialist IT company, which may load Windows as part of a general package of applications customised for your school. The same applies to free-to-schools Microsoft packages such as Office XP and Encarta. Other software can be pre-loaded by arrangement.
   

• Machines are also sold as stand-alones or in pre-configured network pods and suites.
   

• Please contact accredited CANZ refurbishers for current machines and configurations, and machine capabilities
   

• You may also wish to call the Ministry Of Education’s ICT Helpdesk at 0800 225 5428 (or email them at callict@tki.org.nz) to discuss the suitability of different machines for software applications used in schools.
