Device Requirements. Plympton International College is moving towards a Microsoft Windows based environment and we recommend devices using the Microsoft Windows Operating System. Plympton International College makes no absolute recommendations for BYOD devices, only that they meet the College’s minimum requirements. If you are purchasing a new device, you can buy one at a computer store or through the ‘BYOD Comp Now computer portal’ on our website) where the college has negotiated special education prices on selected packages, including 3 years insurance cover. The 6 months interest free option provides an opportunity to pay off the device and is a more affordable choice if you need to buy multiple devices. Orders can be placed at any time, generally taking 10 working days. Once your order arrives you will be notified so that you can collect it from the college. ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇/▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/ Be aware of “Bargain” Laptops / Second Hand Laptops.
