Back to School: Win an ASUS EeeBook X205
Win an ASUS EeeBook X205 for Back to School
If you have kids at school, you might’ve noticed that there’s now an extra item on the ‘back to school’ lists: a computer. Many schools now implement a BYOD technology policy – a necessity which can add a fairly hefty load on top of the stationary list.
So what makes a good laptop for school?
We’ve compiled a list of features to check off when you’re at the checkout…
- Check with the school for their minimum and recommended configurations and decide what is essential. No point paying for a supercharged graphics card if it’s not needed!
- Consider other features – battery life, weight and thickness. Especially if your child needs to carry the computer to and from school.
- Kids will be kids. Consider investing in protective carry cases, or accidental damage warranties.
- Shop around – the smaller computer stores may have good deals.
- Go with a brand name, if possible and check service availability/turnaround and warranty terms.
- If shopping in-store, don’t be afraid to ask for a discount. It never hurts to ask. At the least, you may be able to negotiate accessories or software into the asking price.
- Software can be very expensive – check if there are any machines that come bundled with education software, such as Microsoft Office Home & Student.

As it’s far better than whatever the school can give him.

making new friends
and no longer the lonely poor fool
When I was a kid, BYOD was a pen and book, if you were lucky, a scented pen; ASUS EeeBook is my daughter’s scented pen.
Give Victor pen and paper; it’s a fail. Words blur, he’s in danger of transfer. With an ASUS, homework is a sail.
the computer just needs arms and legs, and my son doesnt need to even go to school
If this ASUS Eeebook X205 computer was any smarter, and had arms and legs, it could go to school by itself instead of my son!

This would be a wonderful device, and would be a huge relief on my budget.

Wanted: One Asus Exceptional Educational Electronic Book to help my daughter finally find homework and learning both eeexciting and Eeeasier!
My son needs a ASUS x205 Eeebook to take to school so that he can communicate to the teachers much easier and move forward with the curriculum.
We just had to get rid of our 5 year old laptop and my daughter really needs one for studying but we cant budget it.

Never mind my child. I need one so I can Facebook on the road (without having to use my thumbs) 😉
My child doesn’t need one – he wants one:) Keeping up with the Joneses and all that!
school has changed their technology policy and now they now needs kids to bring their own to school
kids need to learn quick and easier have a chance at better jobs than us am told Asus notebook the best
my disabled son seems to get more work done when he uses the school computers, and we dont have a laptop or computer that he can use at home so hes at a disadvantage there
My daughter starts middle school this year and needs to take her own device, we can rent one from the school but they only have a limited number and I didn’t get in quick enough (bad mother)! Would be great for me as well to be able to keep track of the work she is actually doing at school 🙂
My son would really like an Asus laptop to be just like his friends and keep up with technology. I think it’s great!
Because today it’s a prerequisite to become successful to be computer literate.
We only have one computer and the kids fight over it, so having a second would help my household immensely!
So they can keep track of what & when things are due. Setting reminders are the best way to not miss things.
It’s light. It wins the POWER race. It’s powerful enough for all DATA day work, so my son can be left to his own DEVICES!
as i am not from the generation that used computer in school,i have noooo idea what they use it for..all i know better learn how to monitor and check what my kid is doing on computers ASAP.SPY CLASSES here i come.
Textbooks and workbooks are bulky and heavy for growing shoulders. An ASUS x205 Eeebook is not! And it will never be eaten by the dog.

To be a step above the rest and not waste any time when travelling on the train for an hour everyday
Dogs don’t eat computers, so no more excuses why homework hasn’t been handed in!
I can’t believe that more schools are introducing iPad requirements in Primary school, it used to be a big thing that we needed a scientific calculator. Times are changing.
It’s
sexy

It’s a great way to explore the world – visually and in the written word. It’s a fantastic learning tool.
As these days the only way for them to get ahead is to have a laptop to use on a daily basis.
As a laptop is always needed for a kid to get through school, back in my day we had pens, paper and calculators.

Sitting at a desk all day is not fun, this amazing laptop with long life battery = freedom, comfort and extended learning opportunity.
I volunteer at local schools in my area helping out in their special needs class rooms. I will donate the ASUS Laptop to the School for use in these class rooms. Very little funding is given to these children these day and we need to raise awareness of these kids thrive using technology as some don’t have great hand co-ordination for a pencil but a keyboard they shine!
Both kids are using the computer more and more for homework (including reading eggs and mathletics). My own laptop is for my uni work and get worried they will accidentally do something to it, so I’d love them to have their own
He’s clever and bright,
But money has been tight.
His mum would be so cool,
If he had a new laptop for school!
I’m an integration aide at a school,this computer would be great to share among the students I work with.
I’m all for improvement in any child’s education especially mine, giving them an early start with technology such as this would be a bonus and a big plus
This gives me the assurance that the battery life will last, and it will be easy to keep up to date with notes and class activities.
It would be amazing to ensure that he’s more focused and organised with his learning. Useful information would be available with just a Google search!
Asus I bought for my little one,
Younger brother thought he’d have fun,
Cracked screen. Keys, there’s none,
Maybe she’ll forgive him if she won!
This laptop is a precious gift of technology that keeps on giving! My daughter will have much more than just a keyboard at her fingertips!
My son is tiny. Literally tiny. At less than 1kg, the ASUS Eeebook X205 Notebook is the only notebook he can carry.
My young son can stop carrying his heavy school bag filled with books, and save his back with this ASUS EeeBook.
