Children in Grades 4 - 8 bring their own device to school. I would suggest a MacBook, PC, or Chromebook.
MacBooks are the most expensive but most durable, PC would be next and a Chromebook is usually the least expensive but very reliable.
If they have a chromebook they need to use their school email address to sign onto the computer so they can get all the school applications and google classrooms.
Recommendations for Laptops/Chromebooks

Typing is the Second Item Listed for Students Need To Know about Technology - eschool news
According to eSchools News - Teachers Opinions
“This may sound notoriously ‘old school,’ but the one skill I often see missing is that of being able to touch-type. The speed at which one interacts with the computer is sometimes overlooked and, especially in secondary and post-secondary education, being able to type quickly is an incredible time-saver. I know that touch-screens work well and that user interfaces are changing, but interacting with a QWERTY keyboard still is an imperative.” —Tom Crawford, Tanque Verde USD, Tucson, Arizona
“If I could choose one skill that I would love students to learn, it would be the proper keyboarding techniques to ensure typing speed of at least 40 words per minute. Mastering the QWERTY keyboard helps establish confidence when working various software applications.” —Anonymous
