I can remember college like it was yesterday the thrill of higher learning the taste of jerky the smell of bong water and the sound of my 56k modem desperately clawing its way onto the Internet and this top five were counting down the best back-to-school tech gifts any one of which would have seemed like a miracle when I went to school starting off at number five an all-in-one printer there's nothing cool about it but you just got to do it seen it's top pick is this $80.00 Epson that can copy print and yes it still sends faxes your kid will groan when they get this but it'll save their hide when they're printing their turn paper at 4 o'clock in the morning number 4 get them a real camera if you don't all their college memories will be nothing more than a series of Instagram pics scattered across Facebook our top pick here is the Canon EOS Rebel t3i it's so good they'll be earning art credits in their sleep at number three give them some mindless entertainment I know it sounds counterproductive but if you want your kid to skip that kegger give them a good reason to stay in at minimum send them off with a $60 Roku HD but if you want maximum vegetation try this 50-inch editor's choice panasonic TV and then seal the deal with a sony ps3 slim of course all the real work they'll be doing is going to be on a computer which slides in here at number 2 they already have when they're comfortable with you could throw in an iPad for a little extra ammunition but if they need a serious upgrade the Dell Inspiron 14z is our top choice for students now before we get to our number one back-to-school tech gift here's an item worth holding off on an iPhone all the rumours are pointing to a new model coming out in the fall which is sure to make the current iPhone feel pretty uncool that being said having a smartphone on campus these days is so essential that it tops our list at number one even if they're dead set on getting that new iPhone 5 when it comes out you need to send them off with something our top pick here for students is the Droid RAZR MAXX has the battery life to keep up with all day use and a kevlar design that's very forgiving for scene that's full list of gift ideas check out back-to-school at CENTCOM where you'll find a gift idea for any budget and for more top fives like this tri top 5 dot scene calm I'm Donald Bell thanks for watching
