Free computer courses and tablet/laptop rental service for new immigrants

Just came across this. Seems interesting.

Unlimited free internet!

“new immigrants can apply by phone for a tablet rental service that includes unlimited Internet access”

Will they require a guarantor for the rental service?

no

Call the second number. They also have laptops, but those are currently all rented out.

I tried it out, so you don’t have to.

As the laptops were all gone, I ordered a tablet.
They will send you an iPad, with mobile internet.

Downsides are that it is admin locked. One can not install any other apps, besides those which are preinstalled.
The only useful app is the safari browser to view websites. Basically it is a wifi hotspot that can display websites. I had little use for both as my phone was already covering that.

One can use it for two months. They will contact you and schedule a pickup day for the package. Just put it back in and tape it up.

Ok I’ve got to admit… that’s pretty :poop: :poop: :poop: :poop:

I was ready to toss it out the window when I let my kids use it for a learning web portal. The page wanted a mouse right click for controls. Nothing was working to make it happen. And constantly unwanted gesture controls kept triggering and interfering. :man_facepalming:

I am not a fan of Apple. This thing was not a walled garden, it was a gulag.
