据2009年4月12日《周日电讯报》报道，中国电脑公司联想(LENOVO)和微软获得了一份合同，将向新南威尔士州学生和教师供应20万台运行Windows XP的IdeaPad S10e上网本手提电脑，并预装微软Office等多种软件套装。
新州教育和培训部将向微软和联想支付1.5亿澳元。其中包括2.5万台为中学老师提供的手提电脑。联邦政府的19亿澳元数码教育计划将负责上述合约的费用，而新州政府则负责软件的费用。
中学老师将率先收到第一批手提电脑，以便熟悉硬件和软件；每位九年级高中学生将在今年七月份开始陆续免费获得配给一台这样的手提电脑，可留用到十二年级毕业后，如果在第十二年级之前辍学离校，则需要要将手提电脑归还。
联想澳洲公司总经理Phil Cameron表示，该批联想手提电脑还内置无线电波追踪系统，一旦电脑被盗，电脑将被遥控关闭瘫痪无法运行，还可根据预装在硬盘内的软件追踪电脑的位置，警方可以准确寻获被盗电脑。
Laptop design foils thieves

FREE laptops issued to NSW high-school students will be tracked using radio waves and will be disabled if stolen.
Chinese company Lenovo, which won the contract to provide more than 200,000 laptops for the State's students and teachers, says thieves will be wasting their time stealing the government-funded units.
It says each laptop will have built-in security features including hack-resistant technologies, remote disabling functions and radio-frequency identification tagging.
The computers will also have tracing software embedded in their hard drives that will allow authorities to pinpoint any lost or stolen devices.
Once a student reports their laptop stolen, authorities will have the option of locating and retrieving the device or triggering a full system delete to render it useless.
The cost of the security measures is contained in the overall price of the project.
Lenovo's contract with the NSW Education Department is worth $150 million.
Lenovo Australia managing director Phil Cameron said that although he could not guarantee laptops would not be stolen, he was confident brazen thieves would be outsmarted
by the new anti-theft features. Mr Cameron told The Sunday Telegraph: "We believe that we are giving some of the best enterprise-grade security options back to NSW students.
"It's more than just one specific angle on security.
"We're looking at physical, software and hardware threats, along with the network-based threats as well.
"The main objective is to protect students from threats, either physical or electronic."
Sarah Redfern High School council president Glenna Niedermayer has previously expressed her concerns about students carrying flashy laptops in western Sydney.
Ms Niedermayer said the security measures sounded promising and she was cautiously optimistic about the scheme.
"It does comfort me, because it may deter people from nicking a computer and taking it to Cash Converters," she said.
"I hate to say it, but there are people who, in a desperate measure in desperate times, might try to sell their kid's laptop for a bit of cash. I'm just hoping Lenovo will do exactly what they say they are going to do, and that it does work out."
The laptops are part of the Rudd government's $1.9 billion digital education revolution, which aims to put computers in the hands of all students in years 9 to 12 by 2011. |
