StAC ICT Team review: "We really liked the fact that the stylus is docked within the laptop itself and charges (very quickly) when it is in there. Overall, it performed well in our testing and sports a 14" screen. We did find it a little heavy to use – particularly noticeable in tablet mode when digital inking."

StAC ICT Team review: "We felt this offers good value at this price point when considering its specification. It has a 14” screen and bulit-in stylus. It is lightweight compared to some of the similar priced devices and easy for students to carry around."

StAC ICT Team review: "The College has used the HP Probook for many years as student loan and classroom devices, and these devices offer good value for the price in terms of specs and performance. However, we weren’t so keen on the tethering for the stylus and can see them potentially being lost or damaged if the owner doesn’t take good care of it."

StAC ICT Team review: "This device offers a robust build with good specs and performance. The College has used the HP Elitebook for staff devices. However, we weren’t so keen on the tethering for the stylus and can see them potentially being lost or damaged if the owner doesn’t take good care of it."

StAC ICT Team review: "The Surface Pro range has formed the backbone of our recommended device lists for a number of years now, and is still used extensively by our staff.

The Surface Pro range are the only devices on this list with a removable keyboard (rather than a full laptop), giving it a form factor that we feel is best suited for inking or moving around a classroom environment. Helped further by the fact it is lighter than other recommended devices.

However, the College ICT team feel that other recommended devices in this list are now at a point that they represent a better cost to performance ratio. The Surface Pro does still have its individual merits (removable keyboard and a kickstand), although at a premium price for the later models."
