<div dir="ltr">I second Bob's assessment of the power requirements. Most circuits in commercial building will be 20Amp circuits anyway, but do make sure you're not plugging the cart into an already well-used circuit.<div><br></div><div>Something else worth considering: It's been my experience that it's useful to have several extra power adapters for the laptops. Occasionally, you'll find that you want to plug a laptop into the wall while in use and if you don't have a few extras, then you'll have to pull the adapter out of the cart. If you're like me and try to keep cables organized and routed cleanly and efficiently within the cart, it will quickly become a pain in the butt and become disorganized, especially as staff who don't care about the presentation/aesthetics and who aren't as OCD about it pull out the power adapters and just shove the cables back in haphazardly.</div><div><br></div><div>To the issue of weight vs mobility, your primary question: Part of this depends on the cart itself and on the surface on which it resides. I've dealt with some large, really well-built carts ( == heavy construction). The sheer weight can sometimes make them a bit harder to manipulate in a tight space, but on a tiled/uncarpeted surface and a good set of wheels/bearings I don't think they were too unwieldy for the ladies that used the carts I'm thinking about. However, most of the carts I see these days don't seem to be as heavy as those older carts I'm thinking about in this example.</div><div><div><br></div><div>HTH and YMMV!</div><div>Chad</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>______________________________<br><b>Chad Neeper</b><br><font size="1">Senior Systems Engineer</font><br><br><b>Level 9 Networks</b><br><font size="1">740-548-8070 (voice)<br>866-214-6607 (fax)</font><br><br><font size="1"><i>Full IT/Computer consulting services -- Specialized in libraries and schools</i></font><br></div></div></div></div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Mar 6, 2019 at 7:59 AM Tom Casey via OPLINTECH <<a href="mailto:oplintech@lists.oplin.org">oplintech@lists.oplin.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
