Best laptop for 10 year old son?

The advance in technology, school-going kids are increasingly required to own a laptop to facilitate school work and homework as well.

I would get one with a Ryzen 4000 APU and no dedicated GPU. A configuration with the Ryzen 4500U is most likely the best choice, lots of performance for the money. 8GB RAM should be fine, but I personally wouldn't buy an 8GB configuration if there is no way to upgrade to 16GB later.
The HP ProBook 455 G7 would be my personal choice, it's well-built, RAM and storage is upgradable. Don't know if you can still get one though, I heard that supply is pretty scarce in the US, but it's still widely available here in Europe.

Depends what the school are using.
My son's school uses Chromebooks for schoolwork so we got him an equivalent version of the school ones. He can access his school account at home and use the same laptop in the class as at home.

Also there are some sturdy Chromebooks that withstand the rigours of a kids rucksack!

IMO a big question is how careful he is with technology. Unless I had a lot of faith in his maturity and carefulness, I'd go second-hand + an SSD.

I'd be tempted to suggest the new Surface Laptop Go, since the taller screen might be helpful for work and the battery life should be good. However, be sure to get something above the base model — 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage is going to hurt.

it all depends upon the requirement of school and other boys is using and also depends upon the which type application he want to use.
