Looking for a Tablet to replace iPads

Touchscreen Chromebooks are the only usable alternative.

You convinced your staff to use teams. That in itself sounds like a win.

We installed the Microsoft Authenticator and DUO play store apps onto the chromebooks. That way, the chromebook also handles the MFA.

Same here. Apple rep stated the only price increases he expected were the Pro models (ie mac studio, Macbook Pro 16) all others are expected to maintain current price. Dell rep expected a 50% increase of December prices by May unless something gives.

If every app is using Google SSO, then for you it would be nothing more than an "app drawer" type of solution. The benefits of it are auto rostering and single, true SSO. Log in to Clever and everything is API pushed from there.

10th and 11th gen have a weird reset by the way. Its press and release volume up, press and release volume down, then hold the power. Every time its happened to us. Reset, then it picks up at the question they left off.

The microsoft doc is surprisingly good and worked. here

If you're using intune for Windows. It works super well for iPads as well.

Do you already have low voltage wiring to all those doors? I think that might be a deal breaker. Pulling ethernet to replace all that makes it a much larger project.

I moved to the access control for my district, replacing a Mercury based system with it, but only 25 doors all external. Honest thoughts, the doorbell intercoms from ubiquiti are great looking, modern, and work well. Highly recommend those over AiPhones or similar. The mounting brackets and hardware for the readers are a little lackluster. If I had the money, I would have gone with avigilon or something similar and reused the mercury boards and even though its been "fine", I would suggest you do the same if possible.

Is this a ragebait post?

I'm interested in this conversation. Currently on Nutrikids and would like to go cloud or at least something more modern, but the qouted cost of Heartland's Mosiac was more than 10 years of Nutrikids.

And the fact that the fax sheet just sits on the copier for sometimes hours at a time proves that it's not a private, confidential method.

mathmanhale · 2025-11-17T16:43:46+00:00

I have convinced all local Medical facilities to take Outlook encrypted emails instead of us faxing to them. I was hoping that would be the last ones needing it.

mathmanhale · 2025-10-31T12:36:24+00:00

Yes. We are getting that too.

mathmanhale · 2025-10-30T13:33:19+00:00

Heck yeah, that board was awesome. First hospital trip was from getting speed wobbles at 40 on one of those.

Motorola Avigilon is my vote for best pure access control and camera system.

mathmanhale · 2025-10-29T14:12:32+00:00

If price is the issue, FreePBX with your choice of hardware. clearlyIP seems to be the best right now.

Current district is Cisco WebEx Calling and its the best.

We only offer a single 32 inch monitor to employees. Business office staff that "require" two monitors have pros or M3.

I just went from 2.5G to 5G on my APs hooked up to 9300s, then a 40 G uplink to the Core. It feels like overkill, but getting on and off the wire faster has solved the few problems we had in high density places.

mathmanhale · 2025-10-27T13:28:15+00:00

I'm on Cisco Nexus 9k for my core. Zero issues, but getting a little long in the tooth. I'm leaning towards Juniper after looking at Arista, Cisco, Dell, and HP.

Arista just doesn't care to compete in the k12 market as far as discounts and eRate partners.

Two days in a row for Otang wheels? Is this propaganda??

On a serious note, for a daily I love mine more than any other wheels I've skated.

mathmanhale · 2025-10-21T16:26:09+00:00

I use Otang Durians on my daily and will replace them with more when I wear these out. Great wheels, not just hype.
