Teachers issued with computers under department contract

The Department of Education Queensland has signed a contract with Acer that will see over 12,000 Travelmate Spin P4 notebooks issued to teachers.

This device offers educators access to a two-in-one laptop that features a touchscreen display as well as a performance-grade Intel Core i5 processor. It also offers a larger touchpad, stylus for note taking, keyboard with quieter key presses and military-grade Corning Gorilla Glass display. The laptops are being distributed as part of the Computers for Teachers program (CFT).

“Educators need purpose-built solutions that allow them to not only teach but thrive in their respective roles across the sector. Acer builds education devices from the ground up, offering tailored and durable solutions for teachers, as well as students and their parents,” said Gaba Cheng, Acer Australia and New Zealand Managing Director.

“We anticipate that this renewed relationship with the Department of Education Queensland will open the door for further opportunities within both the education and wider commercial segments. We are thrilled to be able to cater to the ever-evolving needs of the education sector within the Australasian region,” said Cameron Anderson, General Manager – Acer Australia Commercial Business and Acer New Zealand.

Acer Australia and New Zealand recently unveiled a new business model and several senior management appointments, with the local business now featuring three distinct business units — Commercial, Retail and Distribution. Under this new model, Acer continues to strengthen its presence in the education, government and corporate sectors with a dedicated sales and support team focused on client engagement and growth.
