FULL STORY ======================================================================
At the risk of aging ourselves, Back to School prep in our day meant a trip
to the stationery store for supplies, with the most technologically advanced item on the list being a calculator. Today, chances are your electric toothbrush is probably smarter than anything we had in our rucksacks. Not
that were jealous or anything.
Thanks to advancements in tech which have come on leaps and bounds, essential items like laptops are now slimmer, faster, and better than ever, providing the ultimate learning and entertainment tools for todays modern students.
Theres a giant, confusing world of options out there though, and sifting through all the specs, numbers and models practically requires a PhD in itself, which is where AO.com comes in. Handily sorting through all the noise to pick only the best ranges of laptops, the online retailers hand-picked selection will make your Back to School laptop purchase decision an absolute breeze.
Heres a selection of some of the best deals around to help reach the lofty grades you or your children deserve - and the great news is, if you trade in your old working laptop, youll get at least 100 guaranteed cashback. HP Pavilion: best for creatives
HPs Pavilion range has everything a budding student needs to achieve their goals, including powerful processors for slick and effortless multitasking. Take the HP Pavilion 15-eg0032na a 15.6-inch laptop with an 11th generation Intel Core i3 processor, 256GB of storage for files, 8GB of RAM, Bang & Olufsen-tuned speakers, and a Full HD touchscreen.
The latter makes it an ideal choice for creatives and note-takers alike, adding extra flexibility to your arsenal, while the processors power means
you can comfortably bash out an essay while listening to music or watching a stream in the background without anything slowing down.
Despite all that tech it still manages to offer an impressive eight hours of battery life which should easily see any student out through a days work (or, of course, Netflix binging in some well-deserved downtime). Not only that,
but a magical fast-charge feature means itll juice up from 0-50% in an incredible 45 minutes, so youll never be left in the lurch if youve forgotten to plug it in overnight. And at just 549, youll have more budget left over
for accessories or app subscriptions too, with the confidence that your shiny new laptop will be able to handle them all.
