Device Checkout Options
LaptopsAnytime Kiosks can be outfitted with one or multiple devices in the same station (separated by row). Over the last 10 years we have designed more than 25 different hardware systems and we build around new devices every day to meet customer needs.
We will work closely with your team before, during and after the sale and will help guide you in best tools to use in order to enhance the user experience in a safe and secure shared-use environment.
Laptop Checkout
Laptop checkouts are the most popular. Tools like Deep Freeze, Microsoft Security Policies and other tools help enhance the automated checkout process.
Additionally, many of our kiosk administra- tors incorporate time-out tools like PC Reser- vation and mirror the desktop environment on the laptops that are checked out via the kiosk.
We incorporate enterprise laptops from Apple, Lenovo, Dell, HP, Google, Panasonic Acer and more. Operating systems for these laptops can be a variety of Linux, Apple OS, Microsoft 7, 8 and soon 10 or a combination of operating systems in a multi-boot plat- form.
Chromebooks
Google has come a long way over the years and they are starting to understand the environment of shared use in universities and public libraries. Google has developed a tool to assist support administrators when they choose to use a Chromebook in a shared user environment. This tool allows the admin to place the Chromebook in Guest-only mode and even allows for auto-updates of the Chrome OS.
We are delighted to work with Google and incorporate the Chromebook in our kiosks, al- lowing facilities the ability to take advantage of Google’s unique browser-based OS and low cost hardware, and lower the overall cost of an automated checkout solution, without sacrificing the user experience.
