what's up guys Lew here back with a heavily requested video this is the official back to school technology slash gadget guide now even if you're not a student anymore and you're not going back to school you'll probably want to pay attention because these are great suggestions in a number of different categories anyways we'll be covering laptops tablets even things like messenger bags and backpacks so let's go ahead and get straight into it let's start out with the most major category which is laptops and these suggestions probably won't surprise you too much if you're in the market for a Mac then I'm going to go ahead and recommend the MacBook Air surprise surprise it's been recently updated with has well it has a crazy battery life it's incredibly thin and portable comes in two sizes as I'm sure you know 11 or 13 inch it's a little bit pricey but so are ultra books so if you're in the market for an everyday system that you're going to be doing work on you can't really do too much better than the MacBook Air but I do have a PC recommendation for you guys as well it is the Acer Aspire s7 it's been recently updated and much like the MacBook Air it's incredibly thin and light and it's also available in 11.6 and 13.3 inch sizes one thing it's got over the MacBook Air is higher resolution displays there's a 1080p screen on the 11 inch so you're definitely going to want to look into that if you're a fan of pixels it's also got gorilla glass on the top portion of the laptop shell it not only helps the laptop look really cool it's also very scratch resistant and durable the next category we're going to talk about are headphones I've got two suggestions the first are more portable in-ear style headphones and then the next ones are over the ear style which each has their benefits and drawbacks but let's get started with the in ear style the Sennheiser CX 300 B mark 2 it's a long name for a little set of headphones these things are only 35 bucks I know students are always considering the cost of things even though the MSRP is 70 dollars they're only 35 bucks and you're actually getting a very high quality in-ear headphone from a very reputable manufacturer of course Sennheiser been in the headphone game forever the reviews on Amazon are fantastic for these they have some special features you wouldn't expect to find thirty-five dollar headphones they come with a little carrying case you can adjust the tips so you can get the exact right fit if you're a bigger fan of over the ear style headphones like myself you're gonna want to check out the shirt SRH 440s as you guys know if you've been following my videos I just got a new set of these in the office and I've been using them every single day I'm a huge fan so far they've got excellent bass reproduction they're incredibly lightweight and comfortable to wear for extended use they also have a nice long 10-foot coiled cable with an adapter on the end so if you need a mini Jack connector or a quarter inch connector there's a screw on locking adapter so you can use these things in more professional environments as well these are a little more expensive they're ninety-nine bucks but hey you you get what you pay for right these things are incredibly high-quality and definitely worth checking out the next category that a number of you guys suggested I cover on both Facebook and Twitter is that of messenger bags and backpacks this is obviously very important for those of you that are carrying things back and forth to school but also for those of you that aren't in school because if you're like me you carry your laptop back and forth from work to home so the first recommendation in the backpack category came from a ton you guys you all sent this in on Twitter the herschel supply code pop quiz backpack it looks kind of like a JanSport style backpack except it's available in a huge number of color combinations and patterns another cool thing these guys are based in Vancouver Canada so we're repping the homeland by recommending these guys and it's also got a laptop sleeve in there if you need to carry a computer these retail for about 69 bucks so not too bad in terms of affordability next is the messenger bag recommendation I'm recommending the 10 buck messenger photo slash laptop bag this is the bag I carry every single day and it works not only as a laptop bag but also as a photo bag there is a removable portion that you can use to hold lenses digital SLRs all kinds of photo gear but then you can take it out if you're only going to be carrying a laptop so most days I have the photo insert out this is heavy duty stuff I brought it with me to you know trade shows to CES when I travel and the thing has held up incredibly well a little bit pricey at a hundred bucks but well worth it in my estimation and also available in a crazy number of colors for the record I have the gray it's like a dark gray gunmetal type color the next category I want to cover is tablets and this was probably the easiest pick for me out of any category I would like to recommend the Nexus 7 it is incredibly affordable it is the right size for travel it has that beautiful high-resolution screen there's really not too much negative that you can say about it 229 dollars a ton of pixels and a fantastic device so if you're in the market for a tablet for back-to-school don't look any further than the Nexus 7 the next recommendation I have is for a set of speakers these are the ones that I personally use at home there are a two point one system so there's a little subwoofer to go with two satellite speakers and they produce an incredible amount of bass for something at this price point they're about a hundred bucks these are the Logitech Z 6 to 3 or Z 6 to 3 for those of you in the u.s. I'm a big fan of these speakers they're simple to set up and they just sound great so if you need to upgrade look at these babies by the way the links are all down in the description if you're wondering where to find all this stuff the next category I want to cover real quick is clothing I'm trying to keep you guys looking good for back-to-school and I know a lot of you guys are going to buy some new clothes before you head back if you haven't checked out packs uncom yet or if you haven't been into the store it's a great place to pick up some name-brand type gear and they've got a sale right now 30% off a bunch of different stuff I've got a link you can use down in the description to head right over to the sale items so definitely check that out oh another thing about PacSun they ship internationally so you can get some great deals even if you're here in Canada or anywhere else in the world I also wanted to hook you guys up with a couple of cheaper deals I know a lot of guys get aggravated by the fact that I only recommend things that are relatively expensive even though we didn't go too over-the-top on this particular back-to-school guide but I do have a couple of cheap items in here for those of you on a tight budget the first item is the classic moleskin notebook available in a variety of sizes and colors you've probably seen one of these before but there's a reason that they are the classic many people use these to take down notes and keep important information nice tidy little package if you've never owned a moleskin try it out who knows maybe you'll take some notes oh and girls love guys with moleskin notebooks I don't know if that's true but to actually tell me if that's true test that out for this last item I'm taking care of you guys during snack time if you've never tried Pocky before now is the perfect time this is an import snack food it's chocolate it's biscuit it's an all-around win and you can get ten packages for $4.99 on Amazon right now I don't know how long they're going to be at this price I know some people complain when they click on the link the prices change that just depends on how much they sell but right now you can get ten packs for $4.99 if you've never tried Pocky before get it if you have tried Pocky before and you love it this is a good deal so get it too and girls love them too and they have strawberry so that wraps up this back-to-school tech slash gadget guide for 2013 if you guys appreciated this video please leave a thumbs up down below as always all the links of all the items that were talked about in this video are down in the description so definitely check that out subscribe if you haven't yet and I will catch you guys on the next episode have a good one later it's chocolate it's brisket it's an all-around win you
