Whilst so many makes and models gives educators an abundance of options to choose from, narrowing it down can sometimes be a challenge. That’s where BT’s education specialists can help.
With tonnes of experience in device provision and 1:1 deployment, they’ll help you make the right device choices for the needs of your school, college or university.
Before you look at devices, you’ll need to decide which Operating System you prefer – Microsoft’s Windows 10, Apple’s iOS, or Google’s Chrome OS. This decision needs to be made in conjunction with deciding on the cloud platform or "ecosystem” you'll use, as well as which apps you want to adopt. For example, do you want to run Microsoft Office 365, Apple and iCloud, Google G Suite, or a combination?

iPad and Mac
iPad is so intuitive that students can instantly take an idea and run with it. Designed to create freedom to move and with inbuilt productivity apps, it works everywhere – with or without an internet connection. Mac provides the power for more ambitious projects.
Chromebooks
With a variety of formats available, Chromebooks look like traditional laptops, tablets, two-in-ones or convertibles. They’re meant for browser-based activity, so offer limited functionality offline, but this often makes them attractive from a price-only perspective.
Prepare your students for the future with personalised, inclusive and immersive learning experiences on a device that’s powered by Windows 10. It’s the Windows you know, combined with the security you need and the latest features like Inking and Pen. Some devices come with a specific version of Windows 10 called "Windows 10 Education". In this edition of the operating system, some settings have already been configured especially for use in educational settings, like disabled access to the Windows Store and Cortana.

We offer Chromebooks from all the major manufacturers of devices for education including HP, Acer, Asus and Lenovo. Designed predominantly for browser-based activity, Chromebooks offer limited functionality offline. This keeps the price low, which can be attractive when making cost-based decisions, but it doesn't always follow that Chromebooks are the cheapest option. The starting price for a Windows 10 device that's built for education can actually be pretty similar.
