During the summer, IT Services has purchased 850 classroom and staff computers. The computer setup is designed to better meet current needs. In other words, energy efficiency requirements, components and displays are more efficient that before. Accordingly, a separate graphics card and DVD drive are not included as standard equipment.
Why the change?
With the progress of technology and media moving to network, the need for DVD drives has diminished essentially and DVD-drives are no longer needed in classrooms. In addition, a significant amount of money is saved. DVD drives will be installed in classroom presentation machines, in auditoria and for staff as need arises.
Displays are now 1080p LED displays, better suiting the current media standard.
Where do I get a DVD drive?
You can borrow a DVD drive at the helpdesk for occasional use. For continuous use you should make a service request at hd.metropolia.fi
