To help you choose, check out our picks for the best tablets for school.
Before shopping for school tablets
You’ve got a lot on your back-to-school shopping list. Make checking off a tablet easier by narrowing down what to look for. If your student is very young and just starting school, then they’re not likely to need tons of advanced features. For an older student, consider school tablets that they can also use beyond the classroom. A high quality tablet is useful for school, along with hobbies or in the workforce. Look for a device that can grow with and accommodate their academic needs over several school years. It’s an investment in their education, so you want to make sure it lasts.
