[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who builds computers for fun, laptops fail for any number of reasons. The batteries are generally a culprit, but it takes two minutes to open the Acer 740 or Lenovo 300e and swap it out. (I have not tackled a Acer 770, but I imagine it's the same.) The biggest expense is actually the display, which can cost $100 to $150, brand-new. (I used to source them from ebay for not much.) As much as it may make sense to charge students for damage, a lot of it is indeed accidental, and the district invested in these laptops, so it is on them. Only in the case of intentional harm should a student be obligated to pay back the school system. (Unless it's someone with special needs who might not know what they're doing or just acting out and should not have a laptop in their hands.)[/quote] You can get a new Chromebook for $150. [/quote]
