Devices for school: A buying guide for parents

For most of us, mince pies and Christmas carols appearing at the supermarket are the first reminders that Christmas is around the corner. For me, it’s the inevitable flood of inquiries from friends, customers and other acquaintances about what devices they should be buying for their kids for school next year.

Like me, many of these acquaintances stuff next year’s device into this year’s Christmas stocking to make that stocking a bit fuller and, I guess, to make the device feel a bit less like a grudge purchase.
