Subject:
New HP 6510B laptops to replace old C640 model
New WIC Laptops Will Be Shipped Soon
All the information has been collected from the laptop information request memo sent in
January. The new HP 6510B model laptops, have been ordered, received, and imaged.
Agencies that currently have the C640 model laptops will receive HP 6510B laptops as
replacements. Once the replacement laptops are received, the C640 laptop workstations should
be sent back to Covansys using the provided PRP labels and boxes as soon as possible,
preferably within two weeks of receiving the new laptops.
The HP 6510B model laptops will start shipping on June 5th and rollout will continue for the next
three weeks.. A list of laptops to be replaced is included in this Wednesday Update under
“C640s by Agency.xls”
A picture of the C640 laptop is included below:
The C640 model laptops will be labeled
“Latitude C540/C640” on the bottom of
the laptop.
Used Computers Available
Once we have finished the C640 laptop replacement and received them back from all local
agencies, the C640 model laptops will be available for ownership by county or other controlling
entity. These laptops will be completely wiped of data. This includes the operating system and
any programs that go along with it. Some of these laptops will have an OEM windows operating
system key labeled on them which can be used to install the operating system, provided the
media is available. If your county or other controlling entity has a need or use for a number of
the laptops, please fill out the “Used Computer Acceptance Agreement” form below. Each
laptop will include the power cord.
