I've won a £500 John Lewis voucher otherwise dd wouldn't be getting either.
She's 11 in a couple of months and I was thinking of getting her one of these.
I know a laptop would be more useful for schoolwork, word processing, powerpoint, etc. But I have a perfectly good laptop that she can use when she wants.
I think she'd love her own ipad for all the apps and games. Plus if she needs to look stuff up on the internet for homework she can do, check her emails, etc.
I'm just wondering if at secondary school she'd be needing to do so much homework/word processing on a laptop that she'd be better off having a laptop in her room? Parental controls, etc obviously.
Which raises a point, can you put parental controls on an ipad?
