HP desktops for education

From compact classroom PCs to professional workstations, HP desktops give schools and trusts reliable, manageable computing for every space. We specify, deploy and support them across the estate.

Model families are examples; exact models and configurations are confirmed at quotation.

Choosing a desktop

Three tiers, matched to the space and the task

We position HP desktops by capability and use, from everyday classroom machines to workstations for technical curricula.

Entry to mid

HP ProOne all-in-one and HP Pro Tower

Mainstream desktops for classrooms, ICT suites, offices, libraries and reception. The HP ProOne 440 all-in-one keeps classrooms tidy and cable-free, and the HP Pro Tower 400 suits standard rooms.

  • Best for: classrooms, admin, ICT suites, library and reception
  • Education benefit: reliable everyday computing, small footprint, easy to service
High

HP Pro and HP Elite, higher specification

Higher-performance configurations with more headroom, stronger security and full manageability for power users and admin-heavy roles.

  • Best for: leadership, finance and data roles, and demanding office use
  • Education benefit: performance headroom and a longer, dependable service life
Workstation

HP Z2 workstations

Professional-grade HP Z2 G9 workstations, in Tower, Mini and Small Form Factor, certified for the professional software used in vocational and creative courses.

  • Best for: further education, and creative and technical curricula such as CAD, 3D, media and data science
  • Education benefit: professional performance that prepares students for industry tools
Why HP desktops

Reliable computing, defended by design

Security built in

HP Wolf Security

Hardware-enforced protection below, in and above the operating system, so pupil and staff data is defended by design, not bolted on.

Built for school life

Tested durability

Education models such as the Fortis range are built and tested to withstand daily classroom handling, including drops and spills, which reduces breakages and repair costs.

Easy to manage

Fleet-ready

Standard support for Windows Autopilot and Microsoft Intune, and Google Admin for Chromebooks, so devices are enrolled, configured and updated at scale.

Responsible by design

Sustainability

Recycled and recovered materials, repairable designs, and take-back and recycling, which support a trust's environmental and social value commitments.

One range, end to end

Entry to workstation

A single, coherent HP range from rugged pupil devices to high-end workstations, so the whole estate is specified and supported consistently.

Ready for what is next

AI-capable PCs

Current HP laptops and desktops, including Copilot-capable AI PCs, so devices bought today have headroom for how teaching and admin tools are changing.

Why buy HP through Medhurst

The device is the easy part

We specify HP to the requirement, not to a catalogue, and we manage the whole lifecycle so your team does not have to.

Specify and procure

The right device, the compliant route

We match the HP range to how each device will be used, and buy through the frameworks schools and trusts use, including the Government Commercial Agency (GCA), formerly Crown Commercial Service, and the sector ICT frameworks.

Deploy

Imaged, enrolled, labelled

Devices arrive imaged and enrolled through Autopilot, Intune or Google Admin, asset-tagged and ready to hand out, not boxed for your team to build.

Fund

Hardware as a Service

Spread device refresh into a predictable annual cost across the estate, replacing capital peaks with a plan your finance team can budget against.

Support

Warranty and swap-out

Under a Medhurst support contract we handle HP warranty and Care Pack claims and provide swap-out cover, so a broken device does not mean a lost lesson.

Retire

Secure disposal and recycling

End-of-life devices are wiped to standard and recycled responsibly, with the audit trail your data protection and environmental reporting need.

Accountable

One partner for the estate

As part of a managed service, a single, named relationship for devices, network, safeguarding and support, so accountability does not fall between suppliers.
