What do I need to know about technology requirements at EHS?
At EHS, students are encouraged to bring a personal learning device, such as a laptop or similar, to support their learning in the classroom. Having a device each day enables active participation in learning activities. If you have any concerns about providing a device, please contact the school. We are committed to supporting all students to access the technology they need for their learning.
Device Advice
Screen and Keyboard: Minimum 11" screen with a physical keyboard to support diverse learning activities.
Compatibility: Must support a broad range of educational apps and desktop programs currently in use or expected to be adopted.
Wireless Connectivity: Support for dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz) remains essential, with additional support for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) or newer recommended where possible to future-proof network performance.
Portability: Lightweight devices, preferably under 1.5kg to assist with ease of mobility.
Battery Life: Minimum 6-hour battery life; longer battery life preferred as technology advances.
Ports: Include USB ports; USB-C ports for charging and data transfer are increasingly common and recommended.

Apple: Devices capable of running the latest MacOS versions (macOS 13 Ventura or later) and with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) for enhanced performance and efficiency.
