Recycle or Re-Use?
Moderate to high skills required depending on what hardware you use. Simple skills required for tablets.
- Old hardware can be re-used – tablets and desktops or laptops. Try Ubuntu and Open Office, Porteus on a desktop or laptop as appropriate
- Try Kiosk mode on an older iPad (e.g. for Surveys) or desktop (easy) - Google "Kiosk mode on an iPad". There are also free kiosk based browser apps which are very simple to install and use.
- Add a touch screen to an existing PC for customer interaction with the PC in Kiosk mode
- If you buy new, can you just buy the PC and not the monitor, keyboard. Mouse – buy from cheaper or refurbished sources – it is highly likely to be OK for your needs and cheaper. E.g. https://www.backmarket.co.uk/en-gb/about-us
