Should I get a laptop or tablet for university?

Whether you get a laptop or tablet for university depends on your major, the activities you will do with the device, and how much power you need for tasks. For simple word processing, many online classes and casual internet browsing, tablets are perfect. Laptops, on the other hand, tend to offer more power for resource-heavy processes, like photo and video editing or particular programming languages. To get the best of both worlds, consider a 2-in-1 device like Microsoft Surface .

What tech accessories do I need for the school year?

The types of tech accessories you need for the school year will depend upon which devices you own. If the device you are outfitting is a tablet, a keyboard can help you comfortably type while on the go. Tech accessories like Surface Slim Pen , Surface USB-C Travel Hub and Surface Arc Mouse can help you focus during study sessions and stay connected.

Are 2-in-1 laptops worth it for university students?

Microsoft Surface 2-in-1 laptops and tablets can be excellent options for university students who want to learn, work, play, and create, all on one device.
