Everything You Need For Back To School
“When snapping up Back to School tech savings in the Black Friday sales, it literally pays to be prepared,” says Jason Tavoletti, The Good Guys Buyer – Tech.
“Doing your homework before you visit us in-store or online means you’ll know exactly what tech you need, what’s available and how you can get it for the best price.”
Here are some hot tips to put you top-of-the-class when Black Friday hits:
Know what you need before you shop the sale. Schools include a list of approved digital devices or required tech specs in the school booklist, and you’ll need to cover these. We’ve compiled a thorough buying guide to back-to-school tech to make sure you’ve got everything in hand - learn more here.
It always pays to be in the know! Study our handy buying guides to learn everything you need to know before investing in a school laptop, tablet or 2-in-1 laptop. Or, why not drop into your nearest store and have a chat with one of our friendly experts?
Subscribe to The Good Guys email updates and you’ll be one of the first to get the lowdown on the biggest Black Friday deals. Once The Good Guys Black Friday Sale launches, use our compare tool - you just tick the ‘compare’ box under your favourite products for a quick rundown of features, benefits and prices. Black Friday stock may be limited and the sale doesn’t last long, so make sure you nab the school supplies you want fast!
The best digital devices for kids have everything they need to stay engaged with learning at school and at home. “That’s why it’s important to shop the Black Friday sales for future-proof laptops and tablets with up-to-date processors, the latest tech for all-day battery life, and high display resolution to stop little eyes from straining,” says Jason Tavoletti.
Check out these top Back to School recommendations to start making your shopping list:
A school laptop should essentially be a portable PC. It needs to be fast and powerful, be user-friendly and have enough memory to store school assignments. You’ll also want a model that has at least six hours of battery life so your child isn’t the one hogging the classroom power point all day.
Acer Aspire GO 15" i3 8GB 512GB Laptop
Dell Inspiron 15 3000 15.6" i5 16GB 512GB Laptop
HP Pavilion Plus 14" EVO i5 16GB 256GB Laptop
HP OmniBook X 14" Copilot+PC 16GB 1TB
Lenovo Yoga S7 14.5" Copilot+PC 32GB 1TB
Microsoft Surface Pro (11th Ed) Copilot+ PC
When shopping for Back to School tablets and iPads, prioritise durability, size and storage. Tablets are primarily used across younger age groups, so making sure the screen and casing can withstand the occasional drop and knock is smart. Schools usually request larger screens and lightweight models and if you intend on pulling out the tablet for entertainment at home, make sure you’ve got enough storage for all of their apps and games.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Wi-Fi 64GB Graphite
Lenovo Tab M11 11" 128GB Tablet
Apple iPad 10.2" (9th Gen) 256GB WiFi Space Grey
The top 2-in-1 laptops for students offer them the best of both worlds! They can type assignments and send emails on the laptop’s keyboard, then convert to a portable tablet when they’re ready for games or app-based learning on the couch.
Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14" Pentium Gold 8GB 512GB 2-in-1 Laptop
HP Spectre x360 14" EVO Core Ultra 5 16GB 512GB 2-in-1 Laptop
Dell Inspiron 14" Core 7 16GB 1TB Touch 2-in-1 Laptop
Don’t forget the extras to make sure that shiny new device stays that way! Keep an eye on your favourite laptop and tablet bags and sleeves to protect precious devices in schoolbags, and buy kid-friendly headphones for when silent study (or play) is best.
