How does it translate to market price? I would put a strong
recommendation for 1Gb connection, no problem.

Note to other readers - this is about what we recommend as the
_baseline_ server for a country/region that is buying them in hundreds
or thousands.

Large schools, big deployments should get higher-end kit. No doubt. My
focus, however, is not in them.
