When it comes to education computing devices, accessibility becomes a challenge across many dimensions.

Devices should address the learning needs of students with a range of abilities and challenges, they must be affordable to ensure tech-equity across students of differing economic backgrounds, and they must be sufficiently reliable as to not interfere with learning.

Microsoft Windows 11 devices offer a rich ecosystem of applications for education, protect?against online threats, and have inclusive, built-in solutions that help each student achieve their potential.

JB Hi-Fi Education offers a wide range of Windows devices from leading brands such as HP that address both affordable and high-performance needs for schools, teachers and students.
