HP laptops for education

From rugged devices for pupils to premium laptops for leadership, HP covers the whole school. We help you choose by how the device will be used, then deploy and support it across the estate.

Model families are examples; exact models and configurations are confirmed at quotation.

Choosing a laptop

Three tiers, matched to the user

We position HP laptops by capability and use rather than by price, so each user gets a device that fits and lasts.

Entry

HP Fortis, Windows and Chromebook

The HP Fortis range is purpose-built for education and tested to survive daily classroom handling, with reinforced hinges and spill-resistant keyboards. It spans Chromebooks, such as the HP Fortis G1i and G1m, and rugged Windows convertibles, such as the HP Pro x360 Fortis.

  • Best for: primary pupils, shared trolleys, one-to-one and Chromebook estates
  • Education benefit: fewer breakages, quick deployment, low cost to run
Mid

HP ProBook, including ProBook Fortis

Business-grade Windows laptops with the performance, build quality and security staff and older students need for full applications and hybrid working, including the education-hardened HP ProBook Fortis 14 and the convertible HP ProBook 4 Flip.

  • Best for: teachers, admin staff, secondary and college students
  • Education benefit: dependable for teaching, marking, management information system (MIS) and hybrid use
High

HP Elite and HP ZBook

Premium HP Elite laptops for leadership and power users, and HP ZBook mobile workstations, such as the ZBook Studio and ZBook Power, with the security, battery life and performance for demanding software.

  • Best for: leadership, power users, and creative or technical courses such as CAD, media and data
  • Education benefit: performance for demanding software, and longevity for a longer refresh cycle
Why HP laptops

The qualities that matter in a classroom

Security built in

HP Wolf Security

Hardware-enforced protection below, in and above the operating system, so pupil and staff data is defended by design, not bolted on.

Built for school life

Tested durability

Education models such as the Fortis range are built and tested to withstand daily classroom handling, including drops and spills, which reduces breakages and repair costs.

Easy to manage

Fleet-ready

Standard support for Windows Autopilot and Microsoft Intune, and Google Admin for Chromebooks, so devices are enrolled, configured and updated at scale.

Responsible by design

Sustainability

Recycled and recovered materials, repairable designs, and take-back and recycling, which support a trust's environmental and social value commitments.

One range, end to end

Entry to workstation

A single, coherent HP range from rugged pupil devices to high-end workstations, so the whole estate is specified and supported consistently.

Ready for what is next

AI-capable PCs

Current HP laptops and desktops, including Copilot-capable AI PCs, so devices bought today have headroom for how teaching and admin tools are changing.

Why buy HP through Medhurst

The device is the easy part

We specify HP to the requirement, not to a catalogue, and we manage the whole lifecycle so your team does not have to.

Specify and procure

The right device, the compliant route

We match the HP range to how each device will be used, and buy through the frameworks schools and trusts use, including the Government Commercial Agency (GCA), formerly Crown Commercial Service, and the sector ICT frameworks.

Deploy

Imaged, enrolled, labelled

Devices arrive imaged and enrolled through Autopilot, Intune or Google Admin, asset-tagged and ready to hand out, not boxed for your team to build.

Fund

Hardware as a Service

Spread device refresh into a predictable annual cost across the estate, replacing capital peaks with a plan your finance team can budget against.

Support

Warranty and swap-out

Under a Medhurst support contract we handle HP warranty and Care Pack claims and provide swap-out cover, so a broken device does not mean a lost lesson.

Retire

Secure disposal and recycling

End-of-life devices are wiped to standard and recycled responsibly, with the audit trail your data protection and environmental reporting need.

Accountable

One partner for the estate

As part of a managed service, a single, named relationship for devices, network, safeguarding and support, so accountability does not fall between suppliers.
