With more and more school districts using subcompact notebook (netbooks or UMPCs) as part of their daily curriculum, concerns about convenient use and security have been raised by teachers and technology directors. Small, light and in-demand, netbooks are especially vulnerable to theft and this is a great concern in institutional settings.

Portable recharging systems compatible with the netbooks have not been universally available and many users stick them in large notebook carts that were not designed for their use.

Datalink systems can no help you secure netbooks, recharge them and transport them in one easy-to-use cart, the first of its kind created from the gorund up to address the practical needs of the educational environment.

With its new "Gather Round" design, the cart allows students to access netbooks from both front and back sides, making classrom management better than ever. Holding up to 32 devices in a compact, easy to move footprint, students can get to their technology tools and put them away quickly and easily. The cart's drill resistant, pick proof two-point locking mechanism protects the netbooks when they are not in use. It provides outlets for recharging netbook batteries and for peripherals.

The cart has been sized to be compatible with all major manufacturers, including the most commonly used subnotebooks: the Dell Latitude 2100, Dell Mini 9, 10, and 12, Lenovo IdeaPad, ASUS Eee, HP Mini-Note and Mini 2140, MSI Wind, Acer Aspire One, Samsung NC10, even the XO (QLPC). If a particular school's technical requirements change, the cart's interior can be reconfigured to change models and provide convenient stoage for accessories or even a multi-battery charger.

The new DS-NSC-32-MINI is available from major computer companies and directly from Datalink sales.
