New York City Public Schools' current devices, including iPads and Chromebooks, come with a 3-year warranty and a 3-year useful life, extendable to 5 years in some cases.
- Devices include iPads and Chromebooks purchased centrally.
- Warranties are typically for 3 years but can sometimes be extended to 5 years.
- The declared useful life for these devices is also 3 years.
- Major funding sources like the ECF dictate a 3-year lifecycle for accounting purposes.
