The Best Laptops For K-12 And College Educators 2021: All The Best Options For Innovative Teaching

A good laptop will do wonders for K-12 and college educators alike, but it’s a great laptop that will separate an educator from their peers when it comes to organization and simply getting the job done. Today’s blended learning environments require an educator to be fully connected at a moment’s notice for everything from posting grades to dreaming up assignments for the coming weeks.

We’ve compiled a list of all of the best options for innovative teaching currently out there, sifting through many worthy contenders to put together a list of the 4 best laptops for K-12 and college educators in 2021. Any of these laptops will be a huge (and central) addition to a forward-thinking educator’s teaching arsenal.

1) Dell Inspiron 15 5000

If you’re looking for the top touchscreen laptop option out there for educators, you’ve found it in the Dell Inspiron 15 5000. The HD IPS TrueLife LED-backlit touchscreen display is simply gorgeous with its 1920 x 1080 resolution. 

It’s not all about the visuals, though. There’s a ton of power in this sleek silver beauty thanks to its blazing-fast Intel 8th Gen Quad Core i5-8250U processor that comes complete with a 6MB cache and Turbo Boost technology up to 3.4GHz. This laptop both looks and works like an absolute charm.

2) ASUS ZenBook 13 Ultra-Slim Laptop

This laptop packs a major wallop in a gorgeous ultra-slim slate-gray aluminum body. The breathtaking 13.3-inch full HD Wide-View NanoEdge bezel display allows you to see perfect coloration and definition from up to a 178-degree angle!

Complete with an 8th Gen Intel i5-8265U processor sporting a turbo boost up to 3.9GHz and 8GB of RAM, there’s really no amount of multitasking that this laptop gem isn’t able to handle.

3) Lenovo Ideapad 320

Lenovo has hit a home run with their Ideapad series and the Lenovo Ideapad 320 continues to build its extraordinary reputation among educators of all different types. For a very reasonable price tag, you get a stunning 15.6 inch HD LED Backlit Anti-Glare touchscreen display that is impressively responsive.

Looking to listen to music while grading and also keeping in touch with your educator peers? You can get it all done at once thanks to the Lenovo Ideapad 320’s 8th Gen Intel Quad Core i5-8250U processor complete with a turbo boost up to 3.40GHz and 12GB of DDR4 RAM.

4) HP Pavilion 15T – Touchscreen Business Laptop

You know what you’re getting with HP laptops – pure quality and all the bells and whistles for an affordable price point. The HP Pavilion 15T has a lightning-quick responsive 15.6 inch full HD touchscreen display complete with an IPS panel that enhances clarity when viewing this laptop from a wide-angle.

Educators looking to store a veritable teacher’s treasure trove supplementary teaching materials and past work will fall in love with this laptop’s 1TB HDD drive. This laptop is a true marvel that boasts peak performance for a very reasonable cost – perfect for the innovative educator on a budget!

Closing Thoughts

An educator who doesn’t settle for a middling laptop and invests in one of the options above will have a true leg up on the majority of their teaching peers. Any of these standout laptops will change the teaching game for an educator and open the door to a wide array of new possibilities.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
