- Proposed: future
Background
Some new computer hardware would be nice.
Purchased hardware should have the following traits:
- Large Display: Important for design work
- Responsive: Interuptions are very costly to creative processes, and frustrate users
- longevity: All machines would be expected to be highly useful for 4 years.
- Uniform: Nearly Identical hardware is desireable
- Warrantied: It's a Hackerspace, the probably of a thing breaking is multiplied by the size of the membership using it.
Considerations
- Washable keyboards - Especially in the shop
- Decent mouse!
- Monitor included in unit price?
- 19" minimum
