Recommended Devices and Software
We encourage parents to consider the variety of needs of their children when deciding which device would be the best. Each device has its own merits, however, we would recommend a laptop, notebook or tablet with wireless capability. Parents considering buying a new device for their child may get the most return on their investment from a full-service laptop or MacBook, as it has the greatest capability.
