Device guidance
There are many devices options available that will support your A level studies. You will find guidance on the best solutions for your learning as well as specifications.
Devices supporting A level subjects
There is no single device that is ideal for all subjects, as unique features may suit the learning better in different subjects.
The most important consideration is that your device supports ‘digital inking’ by being either a touchscreen tablet or laptop, or a laptop with a plug-in graphics tablet that you can use to digitally ink on to Microsoft resources.
The following options detail two different types of device you could choose from to support your learning.
Tablet devices that support digital inking
Android tablet
- Tablet and case
- Digital pen bundle
- Bluetooth keyboard
- Prices from approximately £159
Apple iPad
- iPad and generic combined case with magnetic Bluetooth keyboard
- Digital pen
- Prices from approximately £440
