Top 5 Tech Essentials Every Student Needs
By Essence · Updated November 4, 2020
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

Gear up because your family is about to ace school. Whether your kids are returning to the classroom or learning remote, we have got a list of the hottest tech items from Walmart to help them ace the school year and make it their best one yet. You’ll love how low the prices are too.

Laptop. Knock out any assignment with this Lenovo IdeaPad 3, this 15-inch laptop is packed with the latest specs, designed with long-lasting performance in mind, and doesn’t cost a fortune. Beyond being fast, it’s Dolby Audio™ sounds amazing, the display is visually stunning, but what really stands out is the webcam shutter—when your child is done with their video chat, they can simply close the shutter, making the webcam hacker-proof!

Headphones. Made for remote learning and homework, headphones are the new must-have for back to school. And this year, go for a wireless bluetooth pair like these from onn.—they are fun, great looking and only $14.88!

Printer. Go wireless with an all-in-one printer to create awesome, high-quality school projects and presentations in full color. And what’s really cool is that you can easily print from smartphones and tablets, making it easier than ever to get (and stay!) organized.

Monitor. Bring homework into the now with a crisp, clean, HDMI monitor like this one from 32” one from onn. The awesome display delivers excellent detail for multimedia homework assignments while the tilt angle easily adjusts the screen position so they can see clearly without craning their neck. Plus, it is a great way for them to maintain proper posture while doing their school work. 

Tablet. Update your tablet this year, so you can download the latest tools and educational platforms, while being able to video chat with teachers. Then use the camera and editing apps to create school projects that will really wow—and even have some fun doing them!

Every item on this list is from Walmart and available for you to shop the way you want, fast, free two-day delivery or curbside pickup—and get ready to rule the school!
