We usually use CDW-G but they have been dropping the ball as a supplier. We struggling to find education models such as the Lenovo 100e and 300e. Lenovo and HP sales reps have been largely unresponsive. Where do you go to replace your fleets?
“Fuuuuuuck CDW-G. I like 2nd gear, bdjtech, and shi.”

“Just don't use Bluum. We got their bid approved by the board, sent them the PO, and then responded that prices and lead times went up. Had to roll my budget to the next fiscal and now people want to cut it because I'm "not spending it all." Seriously, I say this as an experienced professional and mature adult - fuck them.”

“Whoever will offer a 4 year ADP and pre-wire the carts for us. Right now that's Trafera and a local reseller in our city. Our local one also does a weekly repair pick up/drop off which is an absolutely huge time saver. They are fantastic.”

“In Michigan, we buy from a statewide bid consortium. They bid out every different type of device for the entire state to get really aggressive pricing. People driven technology currently has the contract for the 11 inch Chromebook and it’s Dell. The sales guy there has been around for like 20 years and he is old school great sales guy who always makes sure customers are taken care of.”
