Laptops vs. PCs


PCs are plentiful, yet we have decided to go with laptops which are harder to source. Why?

The major reason is the cost of shipping, which for PCs is prohibitively expensive in our opinion. Laptops on the other hand are:

  • Cheaper to ship to Uganda.
  • Fewer resources are needed on the ground for logistics such as storage and transport.
  • When the electricity is out, there is the possibility of relying on battery power.

  • Can easily take the laptops out of the center and into a classroom, for example, when necessary.
