From laptops to digital calendars, it’s time to equip your student with tech that will help them as they head back to class. Take a look at some of GMA lifestyle contributor Lori Bergamatto’s top picks this back-to-school season.

Best Grade School Laptop

Choosing the right computer is crucial for school. This Chromebook from Walmart is powered by an Intel Celeron processor with Intel Wi-Fi 6 for faster performance, smoother multitasking, and up to 10 hours of battery life. It also includes built-in Google apps.

Best Laptop for High Schoolers

Apple’s MacBook Air is built to last. At less than half an inch thin, users can work, play, or create from anywhere. The 13-inch model provides the ultimate in portability for users on the go, while the 15-inch model offers even more room to multitask. You can expect up to 18 hours of battery life.

Best Printer

PIXMA Wireless All-in-One Home Printer with Scanner and Copier

Printing those assignments will get a lot easier with the all-in-one wireless printer from Pixma. This printer has print, copy, and scan functions, plus quick setup and an easy-to-use 1.5″ LCD screen. It uses only two mess-free ink cartridges for simple, full-color printing.

Best WiFi Router

Each Nest Wifi router provides up to 2200 square feet of fast, reliable Wi-Fi coverage for your home. The router intelligently works behind the scenes to make sure your Wi-Fi remains fast so you can walk from room to room on a video call with an uninterrupted signal. Automatic updates help your network stay safe and sound. Nest Wifi is easy to set up in the Google Home app.
