10 Best Tech Gadgets Every College Student Should Have

Everyone knows how quintessential Smartphones and iPhones are for a college and university fellow, yet everyone knows how quickly these devices tend to run out of charge. Since you are always on the move around the campus, a wireless charger is a smart and portable solution to keep your devices charged up to the brim. You can find a wireless charger on Amazon from $13 to $45.

Headphones are bulky, but they will help you reclaim your privacy and personal space in a noisy dorm or a library. You can block out background noise while writing a challenging assignment or listening to music. A lightweight headphone is not just comfortable to wear but looks stylish as well. The Bluetooth connectivity would help you listen to music and lectures on the go. From $13 to $30 and above, the choices are endless for wireless Bluetooth headphones at Amazon.

Wireless Earbud and In-Ear Headphones

For a student who needs something compact and discrete as compared to a headphone, earbuds are the perfect alternative. They are lightweight, non-slip, ergonomic and water-resistant and can be carried around your neck and in the pocket. Once charged, these would last you for hours. You can pick a pair for yourself from Amazon from $18 and above.

Anti-theft Backpack

The quality of the backpack in which you carry your books, laptop and other gadgets is very important. Since you are going to lug your backpack around the campus the entire day, its capacity and sturdiness are far more important than style. Anti-theft bags with a USB charging port are all the rage these days because they allow you to keep your important gadgets fully charged. Then again, if you carry pricey gadgets in your backpack, it makes all the more sense to buy ones with the anti-theft features.

If you like taking notes in the class but want to ditch the old paper and pencil, go ahead, get an iPad. It’s not just the ‘in’ thing but has great practicality for any college student who is an avid note-taker. The accompanying pencil will not only allow you to jot down class lectures and notes quickly but would transform your hand-written work to text or an essay draft, thus saving you massive amounts of time. These cost from $329.00 to $559.

USB 3.0 Flash Drives

Who understands the importance of data more than a student or a writer! Sure enough, you can upload your data to a cloud-based storage, but a USB is a USB: it’s spacious, portable and durable, with high data transferring speed. You can grab one from Amazon for $30.

Fitbit

Not all of our recommendations revolve around studies and entertainment — one has to stay fit as well but without having to make too much effort. Busy bees who want to track their level of activeness, nutrition, sleep, calories, and blood pressure should get hold of a Fitbit. You can get the latest one from Amazon for near about $148.

Kindle Reader

Reading might be a bit old-fashioned, but the Kindle Reader just might make you fall into love with reading again due to the huge storage space and portability it offers. You can download and cram thousands of e-books into it and carry it with you just about anywhere. It’s like carrying a library on your palm. The strong battery of a Kindle can make it last for days and not just hours. You can get hold of one for just $119.99.

All these smart gadgets and apps are not supposed to make us smarter, but they do help us work in a smarter way. It is up to you to draw maximum benefit from them.
