Educational institutions are currently caught between shrinking IT budgets and rising hardware costs. Traditionally, this leads to delayed investments, leaving staff and students with aging, unreliable technology. At XMA, we believe that education organisations do not need to wait for a budget increase to modernise. Instead, you need a connected approach to funding and lifecycle management.  

Turn Old Tech into New Budget 

Lenovo ConnectEd offers a smarter way to refresh your classroom technology by turning your old equipment into a financial asset. 

How it works: 

• Trade in any brand: You don’t need to be trading in old Lenovo kit. We accept qualifying devices from any manufacturer. 

• Get up to £150 back: For every qualifying new Lenovo device you purchase, you can receive up to £150 from your old trade-ins. 

• Move to Lenovo: Use the value you’ve recovered to upgrade to Lenovo hardware – the brand favoured by educators for its durability and classroom performance. 

• Flexible payments: Use Lenovo Financial Services to spread the remaining cost, making your budget work harder and go further. 

And we’re making it even more rewarding to upgrade your institution’s IT infrastructure. For a limited time, enjoy a bonus 10% Cashback when you choose AMD accelerated devices bundled with Microsoft Shape the Future discounted Windows 11 licenses.  

Security and Sustainability, Simplified 

Managing the end of a device’s life can be a headache, but we’ve made it simple. It delivers peace of mind as well as value for money: 

• Data Security: Ensure your old technology is wiped securely, meeting all your data protection requirements. 

• Sustainability: XMA and Lenovo recycle or repurpose your old kit responsibly, helping your school hit its environmental targets without the extra legwork. 

• Predictable Cycles: By recovering the value of your assets now, you can plan your next refresh with confidence rather than waiting for a budget windfall.
