Shopping for a laptop for your kid can be tricky — you don’t want to get something overwhelmingly expensive because accidents tend to happen, but you don’t want to be *so* cheap that you’re giving them a piece of junk. HP has a nice Chromebook model that may very well be the perfect choice. 

The HP Chromebook 11 G5 Education Edition is on sale for $100 off at Walmart. It’s a great starter laptop, and ideal for educating your child both in and out of the classroom. 

This HP Chromebook is ready for class with interactive tools like Google Play for Education, which is chock-full of educator-approved apps and lesson plans that are easy to use and accessible to anyone. Its spill-resistant keyboard and rubber edges can handle drops and accidents, and its long battery life will last a whole school day without fizzling out. The speedy processor quickly launches apps and facilitates quick web browsing, all while managing power throughout usage. It’s simple, affordable, and perfect for the young learner. Read more…
