Key requirement for school devices

1

Durability

Laptops need to be suitable for at least 3-4 years and sturdy enough to withstand drops, stomps and rough handling, especially amongst younger students.

2

Battery Life

Finding a place to plug in and charge your laptop can be tricky in a school. A student device must last all day, for at least 6 to 8 hours of use.

3

Weight

A lighter laptop might be preferable for kids if they need to carry their device a lot, whether to and from or between classrooms.

4

Screen Size

The ideal screen size for a laptop would be 10” to 14”, making it large enough to use, but also compact and convenient to carry.

5

Affordability

Find a laptop that fits your budget while meeting the necessary requirements.

6

Compatibility

Check the school's requirements to ensure your chosen device is compatible with any necessary software or programs.

7

Performance

Ensure that the laptop is powerful enough to perform the required learning tasks.

Choosing the right operating system

Operating system (OS) is the software that manages a computer's hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs.

It is the foundation on which applications run.

The most popular operating systems are Google's Chrome, Microsoft's Windows and iOS by Apple.

Often, the school will tell you which operating system you should get.
