The 6th generation iPad Pro, powered by the M2 chip, is still a powerful tablet even though there’s a much more performance-based model with the M4 chip now. The larger touchscreen is perfect for multitasking or running apps that require extra screen space. It also has a gorgeous screen that’s great for playing games, watching movies, or FaceTiming. Okay, and also for homework. 

The iPad Pro is ideal for handling tasks that require lots of computing power, like editing 4K video, working with high-resolution photos, doing any sort of graphic arts work, managing advanced spreadsheets and more.

The iPad Pro offers all-day battery life (up to 10 hours) and supports Wi-Fi 6E for wireless connectivity. It’s the perfect portable option for schoolwork, but it’s also a great entertainment center on the go, too.

Sometimes you need to print things for school, be it a book report or a permission slip. Take care of it all with the HP LaserJet Pro MFP all-in-one printer. 

It has blazing fast print speeds and a 50-page auto feeder, so it can power through high-volume jobs effortlessly. It can also perform dual-sided scanning in a single pass to help you finish complex scanning tasks quickly.

Samsung 83

Best Buy


Treat your favorite student to a new TV with the Samsung S90C. This OLED TV comes in various sizes, including an absolutely huge 83-inch version — perfect for the living room in that first apartment off campus. Thanks to its wide-angle viewing, you don’t need to sit right on top of the screen to get a good picture. 

And speaking of clear views, whatever action you’re watching will appear smooth and fluid, with life-like and accurate colors thanks to the TV’s 120Hz refresh rate and support for HDR10+ and HLG. Like all Samsung smart TVs, this one runs using the Tizen operating system, which makes it easy to access any streaming content from the services you subscribe to.

You don’t have to use this TV for educational purposes. But it will absolutely screen documentaries and other enlightening content if that makes it an easier purchase to digest.


Lenovo Yoga Book 9i 2-in-1 laptop: $1,800 ($200 off)

Amazon


Sometimes school gets demanding. This laptop has two different displays to help offload some of the demand on your computer when you or your kids have a lot of work to do. The Yoga Book 9i offers two 13.3-inch OLED touchscreens and a detachable keyboard. This gives you more functionality and on-screen real estate than a typical 2-in-1 laptop or a more traditional machine. 

With two displays, you can run two apps at the same time; a single app on both screens; or reposition the screens to face in opposite directions — a great option for presentations. What we love most about this laptop is its innovative design that might even make doing group projects fun. 

And what’s even more remarkable is the small size and low weight of this laptop. It offers a sleek and ultra-modern appearance. You also get enough computing power for advanced applications. When the Yoga 9i’s displays are positioned like a traditional laptop, the detachable keyboard can be placed over part of the bottom screen, so you can enjoy traditional laptop functionality. The keyboard stays put thanks to magnets. Just remove it if you want to use both screens. 


HP 15.6-inch touchscreen laptop, $550 ($250 off)

This touchscreen laptop is a fantastic choice for everyday browsing, homework, attending Zoom classes and more. It boasts a 15.6-inch screen, a whopping 16GB RAM and 512 GB to store all your documents. It also has a powerful Intel Core i7 processor to power it all. 

It includes a great webcam with advanced noise reduction software for Zoom classes or daily meetings, and a battery that’ll last you up to 11 hours and 45 minutes even when you’re playing videos or using Bluetooth.

Most work is usually done on a laptop when it comes to many classes these days, or a computer is at least heavily involved. This is an affordable and capable option that’s good for a variety of use cases, and it can also make the perfect office computer replacement as well.
