    Our school has a program so you pay like $700 a year for the tablets and they're yours to take home and blah. They do have restrictions on them but whatever. It can run the D-15 on gridmap at about 25-30 fps on low graphics of course and I feel like it can run 2 D-15's but the integrated graphics can't handle it. I don't really play at school anymore (Cuz last year of school)

    The tablet specs are
    CPU: i5-4210Y Dual-Core @1.5Ghz
    RAM: 4GB

    Right. It's not like future pfoofing involves buying a CPU that is gonna cry because he's nevver used. They should've gotten i3-6100s and kept the spare money for like good keyboards and stuff the school can use. They don't have to be mechanic, Just not those flat pieces of crap that you can't even type with. A good rubberdome is enough.

    Depends where you are at my school. If you are in the DT rooms, it is I5 + 960 (for rendering). If you are elsewhere, it is an Intel Atom with inbuilt graphics. All on windows 7 (which essentially killed the Atoms)

    Or my good ol' buddy Cherry RS6000M. Pretty nice and super cheap. Seems like the K120 is good too though.

    Might be. Notice I said old.
    There should be something like a successor though.

    cherry is rarely cheap sadly. Good as cherry boards are, they just arent budget.

    Though cherry rubber dome keyboards, those, those are actually good XD Rubber should be awful, not good.

    Yeah, I can see why some people say that rubberdomes are mooshy and horrible to write with. Cherrys are really good though, as long as you don't take the ones with the flat keys that almost every school has. Those are awful.

    You have no idea what you are talking about. There is no such thing as a 970 Ti. No school would ever spend the money on a GTX 970 either. If it's for CAD/CAM, then they'd use a Quadro or FirePro card. Otherwise, they'd just use integrated graphics. Also, they wouldn't waste the money on 16GB of RAM. 4-8GB max.

    Literally just installed windows 10 on my school laptop in class. At first I shrunk the D:\ Paritiion by 15GB and used that for the install and now it's dual booted so yeah.

    I've got some K120s here. Also got a whole bunch of Lenovo/IBM OEM keyboards/mice from ThinkCentres. I just wish people wouldn't break the riser pieces off. They are genuinely useful for ergonomics.

    K200 keyboards here. Not too bad, showing their age though.

    Heck, a majority of these Dells and HP's don't work. I seen a lot of them with a DOS screen saying things like "Low System Voltage," "Unable to find C drive" or "Low System Memory," the low system voltage one is the most common.
