Best Laptops for Students

Choosing a laptop is one of the most important decisions a student can make when heading back to school. Your laptop will be used for everything from taking notes in class to late-night essay writing sessions. And when it’s time to relax, your laptop doubles as your go-to for entertainment, gaming, and web surfing.

Three Must-Haves When Choosing Laptops for Students

When choosing a laptop for school, look for:

• A fast processor and enough RAM to keep up with multitasking
• Built-in productivity apps to enhance your workflow
• Long battery life to stay powered through classes and study sessions

If a laptop is out of your budget, a tablet is the next best thing. With productivity apps on board, long battery life, and a lightweight, ultra-portable design, tablets are a must-have for back to school. You can connect your tablet to a wireless keyboard to tackle assignments big and small, it can store all of your digital textbooks, and it will keep you up with your social networks while you’re buried under books.

Accessorize Your Laptop With Cables and Cases

The best laptops for students will also have the right accessories. Software like Microsoft Office Suite will organize your thoughts, keep track of expenses, and help you build presentations. Antivirus programs will keep your laptop free of spyware and viruses, HDMI and other connecting cables will give you quick hookups to your dorm TV, and cases and sleeves will protect your laptop from scratches and crashes.

Study and Relax With the Best Audio Gear

Whether you’re studying or relaxing, a good set of portable speakers or headphones can make all the difference. Stream study playlists, white noise for focus, or kick back with your favourite songs after a long day.

Don’t forget top-rated wireless audio gear like AirPods, over-ear headphones, and Bluetooth speakers. They’re perfect for late-night studying or relaxing between classes, and many are on sale during Back to School.
