[quote=Anonymous]Get a laptop, but not a chromebook unless required. With a laptop your DD can take it everywhere to do homework (library, friend's house for group projects, outside in nice weather, write essays or design PowerPoint in the car on long trips, etc). Plus, she can bring it on vacations/trips, and won't take up all the space of a desktop. The reason I would say not a chromebook is that seems unnecessarily limiting. There's not much that absolutely needs to be included, as long as it gets Internet and has a basic suite of the Microsoft Office programs (or Apple equivalents I suppose but then you might run into compatibility issues turning in the assignments or sharing with friends for collaborative work). In middle school the things kids need the computer for seem to be fairly basic -- research & creation of reports or presentations.[/quote]
