While we recommend Apple products, families are free to purchase a device of their choosing for their students. Regardless of selection, please be sure whatever device purchased will support 5GHz WiFi. We have also found that Chromebooks tend to be most problematic for students.
128GB Storage should be enough
Wifi connectivity is fine (no need for cellular)
*make sure you match the case with your model of iPad
Processor
M4 = Great
M3 = Really good
M2 = Good
Unified Memory
At least 16GB is ideal; more is even better! This usually prolongs the usability of a machine over time.
SSD
Your preference as students will have access to cloud storage.
