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.
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
Apple iPad
There are several affordable Android tablet options on the market, and these will provide all the key functionality needed across most of our A Level subjects.
