   What makes a good high school laptop?

   • But almost every student I spoke to agreed that the most important feature of a high school laptop is portability. Kids attending in-person classes may be carrying their device around for much of the day with a stack of other books. Look for a 13- or 14-inch screen, or a lighter 15- to 17-inch model. Students also recommend something sturdy.

   There are two things to think about in terms of storage: speed and capacity. Many laptops today are equipped with solid state storage (SSD) for speed.
