A Better Cheaper Alternative to Home Learning: All in one PC with Projector for less than a laptop

LEEDS, U.K. - Jan. 25, 2021 - PRLog -- Learning at home during the COVID-19 lockdown can be a real challenge for many parents and schools.  Not only is laptop poverty on the increase but there is a huge shortage of laptops available, so if you are struggling to find the right hardware for home learning, take a look at these cheaper alternatives using a projector with built in OS.

Whilst many schools have benefited from £1k grants to purchase Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams, not all families have enough devices to benefit from the high quality home learning offer schools are providing. Schools have yet to receive laptops for families promised by the government and many parents simply don't have enough (or any) devices to use all day just for remote learning. Each child in the household needs their own device to log onto the schools learning offer to engage throughout the day.

Another challenge of live lessons via Zoom or Teams is not only is the screen very small on laptops, phones or tablets but also it can be very tiring on the eyes and tends to zap energy quickly, so it doesn't always get the best engagement when compared to being in school.

One alternative to laptops for home learning then is the new breed of Ultra Portable Projectors which include an operating system inside, essentially making them like a PC but with the huge advantage of being able to project any size screen, up to life size.

You don't need a screen to use ultra portable projectors as any white (or light coloured) wall can be projected on. Other options include projecting onto white MDF hardboard or simply blue-tacking A3, A2, A1 sheets of paper onto the wall for a cheap an easy screen solution.

These mini projectors are smaller than the average laptop so can be easily hidden away when required. They can connect via USB with any normal keyboard and mouse and all the usual apps are onboard allowing you to use the Web, Teams, Google Classroom, Word, PDF and you get access to the App Store to download a multitude of other apps.

Overall, these types of ultra portable projector are well worth considering as alternatives to laptops, tablets and Smartphones as they are cost effective and offer more advantages such as projecting larger life size images with less eye strain and more audience engagement.
