When it comes to getting a laptop for school, the last thing you want to do is pay an extortionate amount of money for a device that does far more than you need. That's why our selection of laptops for education is specifically tailored for those who need a cheap laptop that will do exactly what their students need, without any unnecessary extras.

Built with a substantial single battery charge and lightweight protective materials, students will be able to attend lessons and lectures throughout the day before ever needing to recharge their devices. They're also more than capable of letting them browse the web for essay research purposes.

From slim Chromebooks to HP and Microsoft laptops, you'll have no issue finding the best laptops for schools for students in the UK.

Chromebook vs Laptop

You can think of a Chromebook as the 'lite' version of an ordinary laptop. As you'd expect from a laptop, a Chromebook has a screen, keyboard, and trackpad. However, the hardware of a Chromebook - processor, memory, storage, and so on - is, for the most part, weaker than that of a Windows-powered laptop. This doesn't prove to be much of a problem as a Chromebook is fundamentally built around ChromeOS, which is a less resource-intensive operating system than Windows. ChromeOS is very much like having Google's Chrome browser as your entire operating system.

Can Chromebooks run Microsoft Office?

Yes, Chromebooks run Microsoft Office in one of two ways: either through the browser-based version of Microsoft Office known as Office Online (accessible via the Chrome Web Store), or the Office Online application (accessible via the Play Store). While the feature set and functionality of Office Online may not be as robust as the standard Microsoft Office, it's more than adequate for learning.

Chromebooks for schools

Chromebooks have proven to be particularly popular among schools and universities, and for good reason. These educational laptops can be configured in such a way that nothing is stored on the device itself. Instead, everything is tied to a student's personal online account, with documents, projects, and other files accessible via the cloud. This massively streamlines the deployment and management of educational laptops as it lets students sign into their own personal accounts and access their files from any Chromebook.
