Year 6 - Year 9 Laptop Choices

All students enrolling at Discovery College in Year 6 to Year 9 are recommended to purchase a laptop. The school has negotiated very favourable prices and the pricing can be found on the ordering portal. This pricing is around 10-13% below retail and below normal education pricing. Apple’s authorised agent Senco-Masslink is handling the purchase as it does for the majority international schools in HK. This agreement allows families to buy up to two Apple computers (one laptop, one desktop) each year at this discounted rate.

For the academic year 2026/2027, the laptop model recommended is:

MacBook Neo	MacBook Air

Please note: parents are not obligated to purchase through the schools recommended vendor; they can choose to purchase their device through another vendor of their choice. We simply ask that the device has the below minimum specification.

Purchase and payment should be made before 31 May 2026 through the portal www.eduoffer.com/esf/school/dc. This will ensure your child’s laptop is ready for Aug 26/27.

Any Year 6 to Year 9 pupils commencing in the remainder of the year 2026/2027, please contact the ICT Office (ict@dc.edu.hk) regarding purchasing this year’s Chromebook/MacBook model.

Year 10 - Year 13 Apple Laptop 1:1 Programme

All students enrolling at Discovery College in Year 10 or above are still recommended to purchase an Apple laptop. 

We also highly recommend you buy a USB backup drive of at least 2TB to protect your child’s work.
