The T7-S is an optimised PC for schools. Powered by Intel’s latest energy efficient processor, the T7-S offers unsurpassed performance, with the power consumption of a low energy light bulb. The T7-S is also fan less; this means they are almost silent too, encouraging a better classroom environment. The fan less design also ensures longer life cycles between PC changes, again saving costs to your school and the environment. This reliability factor also ensures less downtime and IT service costs.
- Virtually silent, virtually indestructible and very reliable. The T7-S forges quality, performance, efficiency and reliability all into one neat small package.
- Completely designed in the UK by Tranquil PC, to exacting standards, the T7-S is rich in looks, and provides exceptional cooling for systems that continually push the CPUs to their limits.
- The built in unique TranCool performance cooling system ensures that heat from the CPU etc is quickly removed and dispersed across the whole of the chassis, removing the demand for fan cooling.
- With an easy option for vertical or horizontal mounting, or even secure mounting to walls, floor plates – the T7-S is the perfect choice.
Especially attractive to Schools, the T7-S PC has also proven to be our most successful product platform, winning 1000’s of contracts all over the world, with recent successful deployments in schools, universities and colleges in the UK and USA.
The unit cost is very competitive – and with the savings to be found on the ‘Savings’ tab – you will discover that the choice to move to T7-S PCs is easy – over 5 years expected life, the purchase cost of the PCs is actually saved in operational costs – meaning these new PCs pay for themselves!

Saffron Walden County High School
After initial successful sample trials, to test the performance and reliability of the T7-S PC Saffron Walden School took delivery of and deployed ninety T7-S PCs in August 2008. The school has an estate of nine hundred PCs and there was an opportunity to substantially save power costs, and of course carbon emissions!

Paul Middleton
ICT Manager, Saffron Walden
In addition to these changes I was surprised at the small yet robust nature of these units, this is definitely an added bonus in a school environment and with the use of the innovative wall bracket the mounting options are quite varied’’
Not only will these T7-S PCs make direct and immediate power cost saving, there are also in-direct savings too. By reducing the power output of the PC this reduces the requirements for air conditioning. The heat reduction from thirty T7-S PCs in a classroom, compared to regular PCs is approximately 7600 Btu.
The following information can indicate savings per classroom of thirty PCs:
| Annual Direct running cost reduction (PCs) | £630 * |
| Annual Indirect running cost reduction (A/C) | £140 * |
| Annual CO2 reduction (carbon footprint) PCs | 1350 Kg * |
| Annual CO2 reduction (carbon footprint) A/C | 300 Kg * |
| Decreased unit costs due to extended lifetime | £800 * |
| Total cost saving | £1570 per annum |
| Total CO2 saving | 1650 Kg per annum |
* based on the following data: 30x installed PCs - running 35 hours / week / 40 week year – comparison to a regular (100W) PC – power costs of £0.20 / kWH over the next 4 years – 1kWH generates 0.43Kg of CO2 – 1kW equals 3412 Btu – 8000 Btu A/C unit uses 1kW - A/C is used half of the year - Life cycle increases from 3 years to 5 years - No additional energy management is used.
