Back To School Laptops For Presentations
Find back-to-school laptops for presentations, from building class slideshows to sharing group projects.

Students can create presentations with Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides and other presentation apps. Apple Keynote is also available on Mac laptops. Software compatibility and available features vary by operating system, and some schools provide access to presentation tools through student accounts.

Common formats include PPTX for editable PowerPoint presentations and PDF for sharing slides with a consistent layout. Browser-based tools may also let students share a presentation through a link. When moving between apps, check fonts, animations and embedded media, as these may not transfer exactly.
