How to Choose the Right Laptop for You
Remember the days when your entire family shared one big ol' desktop computer, and you'd fight tooth and nail for your half hour of playing minesweeper? Ah, simpler times.

Best Laptops for Students Under $500
Save that pretty penny, or in this case, a few hundred dollars because, although you are a student, that doesn’t mean that you have to be broke. We often hear horror stories about students going into debt by thousands of dollars paying for tuition, rent, or taking out a loan for a brand new laptop. Let’s face it, in this day of age, it is seemingly impossible to go through school without a laptop as most of the curriculum is online-based. Sure, you can settle and go to the school library every day after class to do some research and get homework done, but it’s just not the same as having your own personal laptop.

Can an iPad Replace Your Laptop and What Model Is Best for You?
I've been a fan and user of iPad's ever since I saved up my pennies from my paper round and purchased my first iPad, which was the iPad 2 all the way back in 2011. I used to carry my iPad to school and use it as often as I was able to, I probably downloaded every app that came into my view on it but when I think back to what I actually used it for it mostly came down to: Games, Photobooth (that Apple app that adds funny effects to your face), Facebook, and more games. I completed the odd bit of homework using it but that was a rare occurrence, back then iPad's weren't much competition to PCs in terms of work output.
