Sonic007 Posted February 12, 2025 Posted February 12, 2025 Hi all, I'm in need of a few teacher laptops. What would you recommend? Budget is small so cant be more than £400-500 max. Many thanks.
synaesthesia Posted February 12, 2025 Posted February 12, 2025 Very pleased with the HP probook range, found the 13 inch models a great compromise of size with good quality and easily fall in that range. Boxes ticked for usb c with power delivery, near identical models available with larger screens and numpads for staff that need. 1
TheHyperTechie Posted February 12, 2025 Posted February 12, 2025 Stonebook Pro, or Stonebook Edge-R (If you don't mind AMD). Sturdy laptops, with a great warranty.

We also use HP ProBooks (specifically the 450 G8, 450 G9 and 44 G10 models). They've been fairly solid in the 12+ months we've had them, though we have found that replacing the keyboard if a key cap breaks is a nightmare (the whole unit needs disassembling entirely) and we've had one USB-C port and repaired under warranty. I think next time round, I'm going to look for models with more easily replicable keyboards and two USB-C PD/Thunderbolt ports for resiliency.
JATSO Posted February 12, 2025 Posted February 12, 2025 We just bought some Very-PC Flexbooks seem to be pretty robust, They replaced our Dell Latitude E5450's that we bought used and lasted us nearly 6 years. 1

We got a few Thinbooks. The backlit keyboard seems to have enough "shiny" to offset the unfamiliar (to teachers) brand.
psydii Posted February 12, 2025 Posted February 12, 2025 Take a look at the Lenovo 13w, web pricing might put you off, but an edu-reseller can get you the real price.
