The Best Back to School Tech! #Helpful Post

was good guys Jonathan here and welcome

to the ultimate back-to-school tech guy

so first up we're gonna take a look at

one of the most essential items you

could possibly need for school and that

is a backpack now if you don't have a

ton of cash the amazonbasics laptop

backpack is only thirty bucks and like

name implies it's basic but it does the

job and then some this will fit laptops

up to 17 inches has five compartments

and a solid amount of sections and

pockets now if you're looking for

something with a little more style and

don't need a ton of compartments they

retreat by Herschel Supply Company is a

killer option and looks fantastic

it'll fit laptops up to 15 inches has a

solid amount of space in front for

everything else and has tons of padding

on the shoulder straps one of my

favorite things about this though is the

fact that the straps are magnetic which

lets you get in and out quick without

screwing around with zippers on top of

that is unisex so it's really popular

with girls but guys can rock it too next

up is a timbuktu Parkside laptop

backpack which has an awesome balance of

both looks and functionality and like

the retreat it'll also fit laptops up to

15 inches there's also an additional

compartment where you store your pencils

and smaller stuff and then on the front

there's two zip pockets for things you

need quick access to next up we're going

to take a look at one of the most

requested and recommended pieces of tech

for back-to-school and that is a power

bank power bar battery pack power bank

battery pack

external battery so first up is the

amino ultra slim credit card size

external battery which is only four

point five millimeters thin it also has

an LED display that shows remaining

battery life and a battery capacity of

2000 milliamp hours now this Ram power

3000 milliamp hour external battery is

the Swiss Army knife of external battery

because on top of being just a battery

it's also an SD card reader and a

wireless hub where you can stream and

share your pictures music and movies to

your phone tablet or laptop now if you

don't need as much functionality as

around power the ko max tower Mini is

small but packs a punch

it's 5200 milliamp hours has an LED

flashlight and also a battery meter now

if you're a power user and you need even

more the anchor after a 5-pack 16,000

milliamp hours which is battery for days

what's up John I'm looking for an

affordable laptop preferably one that

can play League of Legends because my

five year old HP db6 just didn't cut

anymore so I snapped him back and more

specifically he was looking for

something in the six hundred dollar

range which is tricky because for

something like this you definitely want

dedicated grad

and in that price range that is hard to

find but I think I found something from

Acer it's a little over $600 put the

aspire a5 573 G 59 c3 PC model numbers

are way too long I better not say that

I'm a shitstorm it's rocket an i5 5200

you processor which is 2 cores 4 thread

the 2.2 gigahertz on top of that you get

eight gigs of ram and more importantly a

dedicated GPU with the nvidia 940m which

has 2 gigs of memory now staying on the

laptop theme if you don't have a ton of

cash and need something basic for taking

notes in google docs the Asus Chromebook

flip is a killer option it has a 10.1

inch touchscreen display with a

resolution of 1280 by 800 and like the

name implies it can be flipped 360

degrees and used in laptop or tablet

mode you get two gigs of RAM 16

gigabytes of internal storage but you

can expand upon that through USB and

micro sd now this runs Chrome OS so it

does have as limitations but again if

you need an inexpensive multifunction

laptop for taking notes this is

something you should seriously consider

next up is the Microsoft Surface 3 which

might be the best option for a student

looking for something in that five to

six hundred dollar range that isn't

looking for a gaming machine but still

wants something portable and functional

and this features a 10.8 inch 1080p

touchscreen display two gigs of ram and

comes with 64 gigs of storage as the

base option but also comes in 128

gigabyte option for a hundred bucks more

one thing that sucks though is the fact

that the surface 3 type cover and

surface pan are sold separately so keep

that in mind factoring in the total

price but they do round out the surface

3 experience and it's nice that it ships

with Windows 10 the built-in kickstand

is a nice touch its fleshed out with

ports and really the flexibility to use

it as a tablet or a laptop but have more

power and functionality than a

Chromebook is what makes it really

attractive what are some good

back-to-school headphones now as far as

headphones go if you just need a nice

simple upgrade over what came with your

smart phone these sony extra base

earbuds are a killer option and they're

under fifty bucks now if you're looking

for something Wireless and want the best

of the best these are the jaybird x2

sports they look good they sound great

and more importantly they actually stay

in your ear if you're active now if any

air isn't your thing and you don't have

that beats by dre money to spend one of

my favorite sets is the sony MDR XB 950

bt wireless headphones these are super

comfortable have inline

controls and a bass boost button right

on the headphones now on the other hand

if you don't care about bluetooth or

need wireless you can't go wrong with

the audio technica ath m50x --is so next

we're going to take a look at bluetooth

speakers and one of my favorite options

out there right now is the UE roll 360

this is waterproof the 360 in the name

means a 360 degree sound it has a 65

foot Bluetooth range and a bungee cord

now that's around 100 bucks but if you

need something a little bit cheaper the

next option is the House of Marley chant

mini which is around 50 it's light it's

portable it looks great has bluetooth

4.1 and a six hour battery life there's

also a built-in mic for conference calls

and it doesn't have a bungee cord but it

does have a clip that you can use for

hanging on things like your backpack if

you have any sessions of a good external

display monitor that's kind of portable

for back and forth University and it's

also not a bulky desktop one so the

thing with portable monitors there are

USB power options but a lot of the time

when you go for these kinds of products

you usually sacrifice functionality and

also a screen resolution they do make

more decked out versions of these but

the problem here is when you get

portability and functionality that

Jack's the price up so if you can

compromise a little bit the Dell s24 15

H is a great alternative it's easy to

break down and put together has a 24

inch 1920 by 1080 display and one of the

most attractive things about this is

these super thin bezels so again it's

not as portable as some of the

aforementioned options but it's a much

better bang for your buck if you don't

mind moving it back and forth so next up

I'm going to focus on desktop essentials

and this is the wireless keyboard I'm

currently using the Logitech k-8 11 this

is the Mac version but there's also aka

10 Windows version as well

it has backlit keys with a really nice

feel and that's part of the reason why

I've been using this over the K 750 and

then what's awesome is the three

Bluetooth profile so you could save

store and then switch back and forth

between your computer your phone or your

tablet so next that is the Logitech MX

master mouse which I've really enjoyed

but to be honest I have seen people have

connection problems with it so really

for about half the price I'd probably

recommend the performance MX now if you

need something even more basic than that

Logitech has their marathon mouse which

is around 30 bucks and it's supposed to

have a three-year freakin battery life

moving on to speakers if you have a

really tight budget but

still want to upgrade over your stock

computer speakers amazonbasics has you

covered there usb-powered and they're

only 15 bucks now if you're looking for

a step above that these are the Logitech

z3 23 s which were around 60 bucks this

is a two point one setup so you get two

speakers plus a subwoofer with

adjustable base

there's also 30 watts of power so it's

going to dish out plenty of volume and

as far as inputs go you have RCA and

eighth inch but if you paired it with

their Bluetooth adapter I've featured in

my cool tech under $25 video BAM now you

got an awesome set of Bluetooth speakers

last up as far as speakers go a budget

really isn't an issue and you just want

a badass set of desktop speakers these

might be the best option under 250 bucks

the in line from definitive technology

feature a built-in USB DAC or digital to

analog converter with 20 watts per

channel and these things get loud what's

unique about them though is the near 10

degree angle which points to speaker

directly towards your ear and another

nice touch is the quick access to volume

and power lastly I want to take a look

at useful tech things you may not have

considered but can more than likely use

and the first of which being the

Evernote smart notebook which lets you

capture notes with your phone those

dotted squares are where the magic

happens and results in the cleanest

possible capture of your notes but what

Isis the cake is the smart stickers

which become tags in Evernote so you can

then categorize your notes and you're

not stressing out trying to find them

after the fact following that is a

vacuum yes of vacuum but not just any

vacuum this is the links from Hoover and

it's wireless it's also bagless doesn't

take up a ton of space and is set up to

work on carpet or hardwood floor it with

a flip of a switch as far as power goes

it runs off an 18 volt rechargeable

battery and again you probably didn't

consider a vacuum but if you're in

school you want to make sure your floors

are clean following that is the cable

matters to outlet surge protector which

might be one of the most useful pieces

of tech on this list it's obviously a

surge protector with two outlets but

also has for quick charge USB ports and

a dedicated slot for your phone or your

tablet so thank you guys for watching

hopefully enjoyed the video if you did

make sure to go Thor's hammer on that

like button and also be giving away a

ton of these products featured in this

video randomly on snapchat and Instagram
