Chromebooks
Chromebooks are the most popular choice of device for Year 9 and 10 students and many will be familiar with their use at primary/intermediate. Chromebooks use ChromeOS and are considered 'connected' devices as they use the cloud to store all documents, but can store files locally too. Generally they have great battery life and integrate with learning really well at SJC as all students have a school Google account so their device will sync all their email and work.
Off lease Laptops
Off lease windows laptops can be a great way of getting a higher specification device at a lower price. They are business laptops that have just come off their lease period and have been refurbished by PBTech. Consider A-grade devices. Most will come with a 1 year warranty,
Windows Laptops
Windows laptops are still the 'business' norm out in the corporate world. They run a very broad range of software and should be considered by students in the senior school if replacing a Chromebook or if they are wanting to be able to run other commercial software (such as photoshop) which may be required by some courses.
Device Accessories
Protect and get the most out of your investment by considering these accessories for his device. You are encouraged to get a laptop case or bag to give the device some extra protection. Consider where he will use the device at home - will he benefit from a mouse rather than using the trackpad? He will need to have headphones for use in school. He can use existing bluetooth headphones or get a dedicated set for his laptop.
