We recommend a laptop less than 5 years old with a working battery and an updated operating system. Laptops generally offer the best experience across all our tools, including Scratch, Python IDEs, and web-based editors. Bringing a Chromebook or tablet? These devices are welcome and work well with many of our browser-based tools like Scratch. However, some advanced features or tools may not be fully supported. We'll support students with these devices as best we can, but there may be limitations.
