Staples Back-to-School Tech Favorites

Another summer has come and gone, and it's time to finish up that back-to-school shopping. Here's a look at my top favorites you'll find at Staples as you prepare for the upcoming fall season. Whether you are heading to high school or college, these tech products and accessories will get you through the school year in style.

1. Lenovo ThinkPad S1 Yoga 20CD 12.5" LED Touchscreen Ultrabook - this is perfect for any student, with a 360-degree flip and fold design and four changeable modes - tent, stand, tablet or laptop mode. Whether you need to work on projects, answer emails, swipe through pictures or watch a movie in tent mode, this multi-functional ultrabook does it all. 

2. Microsoft Surface Pro 2, 256GB 10.6" -  Weighs in at 2 pounds and transforms from tablet to laptop. It's compatible with all your favorite Windows software, including the entire Microsoft Office Suite. Even better when paired with the Surface Touch Cover 2 keyboard. 

3. AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 - perfect for movies, videos, and taking pictures with the 16-megapixel camera. Stay fit with a built-in mobile health monitor. Designed to be dust-free and water-resistant. 

4. Beats by Dre On-Ear Headphones - Enhance your listening experience with a wider range of sound and enhanced clarity. Lightweight, durable, comfortable and always in style. Available in  red, black, and white. 

5. Halo Portable Power Pack - This backup battery ensures cell phones, cameras, Bluetooth devices, gaming systems and other gadgets stay charged up while on-the-go! (available in Staples stores as 2800 mAh or 5500 mAh)

Back-to-School Shopping at Staples with Nick Cannon

  

Last month, I previewed Staples back-to-school shopping with Nick Cannon as he took us through his collaboration with Monster NCredible N-Tune On-Ear Headphones and N-Ergy In-Ear Headphones, which are just as comfortable as they are fashionable, at an affordable price.

 

Back-to-school shopping is also a great time for anyone to get in gear with office supplies, home organization accessories and technology. Along with Monster headphones, some of my must-haves include Kingston's DataTraveler SE9 8GB USB 2.0 USB ($6.39), Apple USB Superdrive ($79) for my new MacBook Air, and for a tablet, the Microsoft Surface RT with Black Touch Cover, 64GB ($549) with touch screen and keyboard.

 

For organization products, Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery features everything from stylish drawers and trays to journals and tablet and laptop cases. I love the mint desk accessories, including Stack+Fit Shagreen Document Storage Boxes ($13.99), Shagreen Drawer with Inbox ($16.99), Stack+Fit Shagreen Box ($2.99) as well as the Message Board, Flourish ($13.99) and Chalkboard Labels, Flourish ($5.99).

 

In addition to Staples members earning five percent back in rewards on everything in the store, Staples also has a Back -to-School Savings Pass, which provides customers with a 15 percent discount on supplies. It is available for purchase for $10 through August 31st, and valid until September 21st, and can be used once a day. Students can also take advantage of receiving Microsoft Office 365 for free ($79.99 value) with the purchase of select touch screen laptops from Dell, HP, Acer, Lenovo, and Toshiba.
