HP offers a range of affordable tech solutions to support young learners and university students alike. With Christmas fast approaching, discover our top HP gifts that combine quality with affordability, perfect for students across the UK.

For Primary School Students (Ages 8-11)

For younger students, durability and simplicity are key to engagement.
HP Chromebook
HP Chromebooks are lightweight and budget-friendly, making them ideal for primary school students. Designed with a rugged build to withstand daily use, the HP Chromebook 14a-na0005na features 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, and up to 12 hours of battery life to support young learners through their day. Weighing just 1.46 kg, it's easy for kids to handle and durable enough to survive accidental drops.
Kid-Friendly Accessories
Add a colourful laptop sleeve for protection and personalisation, plus comfortable headphones for focused learning—especially useful in busy households with multiple students.

For Secondary School Students (Ages 11-16)

As academic demands increase, secondary school students need reliable devices to handle multiple tasks.
HP Pavilion Laptop 14s Series
The HP Pavilion 14s series offers an entry-level Windows® laptop that provides more functionality than a Chromebook while remaining affordable. The HP 14s-dq0011na model, with Intel® Pentium® Silver processor and 128GB SSD storage, is perfect for homework, research, and light multimedia tasks. The Full HD display ensures a quality viewing experience, and fast charging (about 50% in 45 minutes) is ideal for those last-minute sessions.
HP DeskJet Plus 4220e All-in-One Printer
A home printer like the HP DeskJet 4220e is essential for school projects. It offers mobile printing, scanning, and copying, and with HP+, students get three months of free Instant Ink and an extended 1-year warranty. It’s a budget-friendly addition that’s perfect for printing homework and personalised planners.

For Sixth Form and College Students (Ages 16-18)

Students in sixth form and college require more robust tech to handle complex coursework and multitasking.
HP ENVY x360 Laptop
The versatile HP ENVY x360 is a 2-in-1 device that transitions between laptop and tablet modes. The HP ENVY x360 16-ac0008na model features a 14th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor, 16GB RAM, and a 2K (1920 x 1200) touchscreen display. Complete with a rechargeable MPP2.0 Tilt Pen, it’s ideal for note-taking and creative tasks, perfect for students exploring areas like design or STEM subjects.
Portable Tech Accessories
Affordable accessories like the HP Wireless Mouse 220 (only £8.99) offer precise control and long battery life, supporting comfortable, efficient study sessions. For those interested in content creation or presentations, the HyperX DuoCast RGB mic delivers high-quality audio for a professional touch.

For University Students

University students often require high-performance devices to manage intensive multitasking and specialised software.
HP ZBook Power G9 Mobile Workstation
Designed for demanding fields like engineering and data science, the HP ZBook Power G9 comes with a 12th Generation Intel® Core™ i9 processor, NVIDIA® RTX™ A2000 graphics, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD storage. Its power and reliability make it ideal for resource-heavy applications, such as 3D modelling and machine learning.
HP Pavilion 24-ca0010na All-in-One
Perfect for dorm rooms with limited space, the HP Pavilion 24-ca0010na combines a powerful desktop with a sleek monitor, offering a compact solution for a dedicated workspace.

Budget-Friendly HP Accessories for All Students

Affordable tech accessories can enhance any study setup, making them practical gifts for students at every level.
HP Dock
An HP Dock provides easy multi-device connectivity, including DisplayPort™ and HDMI for dual monitors, USB-A for peripherals, and an Ethernet port for reliable internet. Perfect for students who frequently switch between devices.
Webcam
As online learning becomes more common, a quality webcam is essential. The HP 320 FHD Webcam offers Full HD 1080p resolution with an integrated microphone, suitable for classes, group projects, and video calls.
Wireless Mouse
The HP 930 Creator Wireless Mouse offers comfort and precision, lasting up to 12 weeks on a single charge and pairing with up to three devices. With seven programmable buttons, it’s a great tool for productivity that works on nearly any surface, even glass.
Low-Cost Monitor
The HP M24f monitor (23.8-inch) provides extra screen space for multitasking and is perfect for split-screen use. The low blue light mode reduces eye strain, while the anti-glare feature is ideal for any room, including dorms.

Consider Age and Academic Needs
Younger students benefit from durable, lightweight options like Chromebooks, while older students may require the expanded functionality of Windows® laptops for professional software.
Prioritise Portability
Lightweight options such as the HP ENVY x360 are ideal for students who need to carry their tech around campus.
