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.

Best Home Projector Screens You Can Buy in 2018. Top Story - July 2018.
Video projectors are rapidly gaining popularity as a convenient and effective way to enjoy movies and tv shows on the big screen from the comfort of your own home. After you drop the money on a good projector, however, it can be tempting to just point it at your living room wall, using the off-white paint as a makeshift screen. If you take just a little extra effort to set up a decent projector screen, however, you will experience a clear improvement.

Best 4K TVs You Can Buy in 2018
You know that feeling you get when you visit your parents' (or grandparents') house, and see that little grey-ish box, usually sitting on some kind of dresser or stand, too far away from any furniture to possibly actually watch anything on it? Well, it you don't, it's a weird feeling—a mix of nostalgia for the programs you used to watch on the monstrosity, and a sense of disbelief that you used to think of that as the absolutely coolest technology in the world.

Best TV Wall Mounts You Can Buy
Even after the many years that TV wall mounts have made it possible to forgo traditional television stands and media cabinets, we still marvel at just how cool it looks to have the TV on the wall. However, not all TV wall mounts are alike, and some cannot offer the kind of results most of us want. As an example, some cannot work with different sized TVs, some don't tilt or swivel and some are unable to work with a home theater in the stylish way we'd like.

Best Wi-Fi Hotspots You Can Buy in 2018
Like it or not, we are always in need of internet service and connectivity. It's one of the most terrifying facts about the internet. Though most of us have wireless data plans that are becoming more and more generous as time passes, it still comes in far more affordably to use Wi-Fi networks or a Wi-Fi hotspot with our mobile devices. Thus, we seek out that local or chain coffee shop or other public hotspots to access the internet.

Android vs. IOS 2018
Android vs. IOS; the truest of rivalries. Which one is best? That question lurks in the heads of consumers daily. To most, a phone is an investment outside of a contract. If you are buying an unlocked version of either, you may feel the price tag weighing more heavily on your decision between the two. And if you're signing a contract, you may not feel the financial price difference as heavily but still, the choice remains, IOS or Android.

Must Have Compact Printers
"Compact printers" is another way to say portable printers. Small and, as their name implies, compact, they can also be mobile devices capable of supporting you on the go. They can print copies, photos, or make high quality copies and scans, and most operate on Wi-Fi. Plus we all know that printing your photos can make you a better photographer. Of course, like all of the other consumer devices of the modern world, not all compact printers are as functional or functional as the rest. To help those who require the many functions of compact printers, we've compiled a list of the most highly rated.

Best Projectors You Can Buy Under $500
I'm not made out of money, and if I was, it wouldn't matter because I'd be a finite sum. That's why when it comes to my television options I want something affordable without sacrificing quality.
