Choosing a Computer for School: The Right Fit
Whether you’re purchasing for students, teachers, staff, or all the above, there are a number of key factors to consider and weigh to ensure the device you select can reliably perform a range of tasks in a variety of environments throughout the entire device life cycle.
Right-Size Performance to Support Growth
Underperforming devices lead to delays in the learning and teaching experience. The amount of processing power needed should align with how a student or educator device will be used. As students progress through school, they engage in more numerous and advanced activities. As activities become more complex and more applications are used concurrently, the need for a high-performing computer increases. To extend the life of your device, select a processor that will meet both immediate and longer-term needs to enable optimal learning outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What devices are used in schools?
The devices used in schools need to meet a variety of usage demands for learning and teaching, including data processing, streaming audio and video, and multitasking for various projects. Today’s student devices must be rugged, or durable, for flexible portability; include built-in security protection; deliver reliable connectivity; offer long battery life for productivity; and be equipped with a performance-based processor, microphone, and video camera.
What is an educational device?
Electronic educational devices are used to facilitate personalized learning, teaching processes, and student and teacher engagement. When integrated into learning experiences, educational devices enable students to develop the mindsets, skills, creativity, and critical thinking necessary to solve problems and arrange ideas for effective communication. Devices for education, ideally in at least a 1:1 scenario (meaning at least one device per student), can be used for a variety of tasks like creating documents and content, communicating via email and video chat, viewing videos and instructional curriculum, and browsing the internet.
What types of devices are available to meet students’ diverse needs?
Devices for education provide a way to implement text, images, audio, and video for a diverse and immersive learning experience, both in the classroom and remotely. In terms of form factor, educational devices can be laptops, 2-in-1s, desktops, Chromebooks, or all-in-ones (AiOs).
Educator devices for schools may also include technology solutions such as interactive whiteboards, wireless accessories, interactive flat panel displays, and interactive projectors.
