Online classes have taken precedence over physical classes over the last year. And while you may have a regular desktop or laptop at home, maybe it’s time to invest in a gadget that will be most suitable and extremely useful for your child’s schooling. Here is a list of laptops that would work well for homeschooling.

1. Apple MacBook Air
Let’s end the debate on Pro versus Air. Unless you need some heavy transferring of files or managing edits that need heavy software like Adobe, go with Pro. Otherwise, Air is an excellent option. It comes with 18 hours of battery life, 8GB RAM, and storage that starts at 256GB and goes up to 512GB. In fact, it can be configured to go up to 2TB, if necessary. The retina display ensures that the video or picture is sharp and bright. The laptop also comes with a touch ID and an M1 chip, which is especially great for multitasking. It is priced at almost $1000.

2. Microsoft Surface Go 2
This one has a two-in-one setup: a tablet and laptop. It comes with a surface pen that can be used for scribbling down notes quickly or sketching. The laptop comes with built-in parental controls, which make it a safe device for your kid. The battery life is about 10 hours, making it an excellent option for children. It comes with a storage of 64GB and 128GB. It is priced at approximately $400.

3. Acer Chromebook Spin 713
One of the first things to notice about this gadget is the sharp display. It weighs a bit more than the other regular two-in-ones, but the quality product makes up for it. The Acer Chromebook Spin 713 has a RAM of 8GB and a storage space of 128GB. The product comes with a 3:2 aspect ratio, which sets it apart from most other gadgets. This particular feature makes the display vibrant, sharp, and attractive. It is priced at around $630. Since it’s a bit on the expensive side, make sure that you check all the features before making a purchase.

4. Lenovo Chromebook Duet
Lenovo Chromebook Duet is another two-in-one laptop and tablet concept that is lightweight, affordable, and does the job! With a RAM of 4GB and storage of 128 GB, it boasts good speed and enough space. The laptop comes with a detachable keyboard that is just big enough for small hands. It is priced at about $300.

5. Google Pixelbook Go
It is sleek and lightweight. The storage options range from 64GB and 128GB to 256GB. RAM options include 8GB or 12GB. It also has a battery life of 12 hours, making it easy to work on without worrying about when the laptop might switch off leaving. Thanks to its thin design, it is also easy to carry in a backpack for any group study sessions with fellow students. It is priced at around $650.
