hey guys so today we are here with a back-to-school gadget guide and when you're going back to school there's all kinds of gadgets that can really make your life a lot easier and today we're gonna be taking a look at several leads including tablets laptops ear eaters and much much more my back to school laptop hick has ought to be the MacBook Air that's what I'm currently using in university and I absolutely love it now you're not gonna get the most power out of the MacBook Air but you get amazingly good battery life obviously it's super thin making it portable and light to throw in your backpack you don't have to worry about it you don't have to pull it out when you're in between classes it's fast it's easy its quick now the new 2011 models do have certainly more impressive specs I have the 2010 model you can get an i5 or an i7 Sandy Bridge processor which for the $999 price especially since it does hyper threading and all that other stuff it really is a decent priced computer now it's not an overpriced ultra portable like it used to be it's gonna come a thunderbolt there is a 11 and 13 inch and it starts at just 999 dollars it comes pre-loaded with Lion the excellent OS 10 operating system that I as well as many others love and that is certainly my back-to-school pick I think unless you're doing some super heavy-duty processing you don't really need a macbook pro and for most students the MacBook Air is a more practical solution so that is my back to school laptop pick for laptops my pick is going to be the Sony Vaio SP series now this laptop has a lot going for it it has a 13 inch display which means it's not going to be a very big laptop in addition it does have a full DVD drive which is not something you'll find very often on laptops of this caliber and addition it has the brand new Intel Core processors including the I threes and the I 5s so what makes this laptop really great is it's just a generally really good all-purpose laptop it can do some light video gaming and in addition it can also do all the kinds of standard tasks such as web browsing watching videos and all that kind of stuff on a really nicely built machine for starting at $800 I think this is a great way to go to get a good laptop that will definitely last you a long while now my eager to pick has ought to be the Nook touch I've always been a nuke fan and if always preferred it to the Kindle but now there's actually some solid reasons as why you should choose the Nook over that of the Kindle now there a book library and by them I mean Barnes or Noble their ebook library is almost as as amazon with almost as many titles but one thing I've often noticed is that Barnes and Noble books are sometimes even a couple bucks cheaper than Amazon's ebooks and so really cheap books as one of the main incentives also with the all-new Nook you get a great touchscreen it's just $130 so you can get rid of the keyboard and kind of a trackpad and some of that other stuff you don't really use on the Kindle and make it a smaller more petite device now even though it is a touchscreen it's by no means a bad touchscreen you can navigate it with a pen and you know kind of other screens uses IR technology super advanced it's super quick and responsive and it is one of the best touchscreens I've used even really period especially on an e-book reader and I think out best that of the Sony touch-sensitive displace now the greatest thing about the tablet for me is their super-fast page turns when you get that refresh on the Amazon Kindle and some other eBook readers it only does that once every 6 page turns on the note so you will literally press the page and the second you press it boom that text is there there's no waiting even if it's you know half the second it's time wasted and with the new Nook it doesn't do that and that's why the nuke is one of my favorite picks and I recommend it for your back-to-school reader for an e-reader my pick is going to be the Amazon Kindle now there are a lot of readers available on the market but what sets the Amazon Kindle apart from the rest in my opinion is going to be the selection of books available it's not only can you download a wide variety of new as well as older books but in addition you can also pick up textbooks now instead of having to carry around the whole backpack full of really heavy and very expensive textbook you can just download them or even rent them on the Amazon Kindle and I'll combined that with the full capability of a physical keyboard a nice e display and the indolent Kindle is an excellent choice if you're looking for a solid really dependable eReader my tablet back to school pick is going to be none other than the Asus Transformer this is a wildin out tablet coming at a groovy price of 399 for the 16 gigabyte version and 499 for the 32 gigabyte version now this is by no means spec shy it comes with a Tegra 2 1.2 gigahertz dual-core CPU you've got 3.2 honeycomb UI and Android loaded on which means you're going to get Adobe Flash Player and all of those other goodies are not going to get on the iPad it comes with a Seuss's wave share UI which is the best honeycomb skin I've seen hands down it with a whopping 16 hours of battery life which even wrecks the iPads very impressive 10:00 to 12:00 it's super thin it has two USB ports and an SD card so it is a little bit thicker than that of the iPad 2 but again you are packing those super powerful specs as well as that extra battery it offers expandability of course you have the App Market and I think it's an excellent tablet if you're looking for an iPad alternative so that is the Asus Transformer and that's my back-to-school tablet pick for a tablet I've got to go with the iPad 2 there's a lot of reasons why this is a good tablet for starters it has an excellent design so it does have a nine point seven inch display which is a little bit big for tablets but of course it's going to be a still quite a bit thinner and smaller than any kind of laptop that you would be able to pick up and on top of that if you're interested in doing a lot of typing on the tablet it's very very simple to just connect a bluetooth keyboard wirelessly you're gonna have no problems whatsoever on top of that like I said it has a really nice design with dual cameras of course plenty of power with the Apple a5 processor and on top of that you have a really really wide selection of applications available in the App Store that's it for our picks for the best laptops readers and tablets available however that's not
