Fantastic! Is there a reason you are not using Raspberry Pi's though?

I've got a pop-up computer lab with 10 stations and the whole setup only cost a few hundred bucks.

Probably a but underpowered for development.

Used laptops are not that more expensive, but they are beefier, the UX is better.

This is awesome. We are not set in stone on the laptops. For a scalable business model, it is safer to rely on donations. Rasberry pi will also require a bit more peripheral devices i.e keyboard, mouse, monitor. But if we start getting Rasperry pi donations, totally. The kids will learn the in and outs of a computer with that kind of set.

realYitzi we use whatever we have donated. So far, that has been mostly laptops.
