Q: Can I include an optical drive (CD, DVD, DVD/CD-RW or DVD-RW)?
A: As the Adeptias desks are primarily used in training centres and schools, the majority of applications do not require an optical drive.

Q: What options are available for the operating system?
A: Adeptias offers Microsoft Windows® XP Home as standard on all PCs. However, as many of the applications for the Adeptias desks are network related, Adeptias offers Microsoft Windows® XP Professional as an upgrade. Alternative operating systems can be specified.
