BYOD has transformed education, making self-study more accessible, helping students learn better and developing their digital skills.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a policy allowing students to bring their personal devices to school or university to assist with learning. With an internet-enabled device, students can access the internet, use educational apps, create digital projects, and collaborate with classmates. Find the right device that suits the students and the school's ICT infrastructure at Harvey Norman.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Affordability
Find a laptop that fits your budget while meeting the necessary requirements.
Compatibility
Check the school's requirements to ensure your chosen device is compatible with any necessary software or programs.
Performance
Ensure that the laptop is powerful enough to perform the required learning tasks.
