Back to Uni: Our Top Tech Picks for Students
Heading back to uni? Whether you’re cramming for deadlines, bingeing Netflix between lectures, or FaceTiming home for emergency laundry advice, the right tech can make all the difference. We’ve rounded up our Back to Uni top picks — gadgets that’ll keep you connected, entertained, and ahead of the curve.
LG 27SR50F-W 27” Smart Monitor
Uni life is all about multitasking — and so is this screen. The LG 27” Smart Monitor isn’t just for essays and spreadsheets, it’s your Netflix, Prime, and Disney+ hub too, thanks to built-in apps. Hook up your laptop for study sessions, plug in a console for late-night gaming, or just chill with a film on its crisp Full HD display. Perfect for a student bedroom that doubles as a lecture hall, cinema, and gaming den.
Top student perk: All-in-one study, gaming, and streaming — no extra TV box needed.
Why we love it: “The white design feels really fresh and modern — it doesn’t just work well, it actually looks good in your uni room too.”
Power through coursework by day and stream by night. With a 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and a speedy 512GB SSD, this laptop makes multitasking a breeze. Whether you’re juggling research tabs, running group projects on Teams, or smashing out a last-minute essay, it keeps up without breaking a sweat. Plus, with up to 7 hours 45 minutes of battery life and fast-charging, it won’t leave you hanging in the library.
Top student perk: Lightweight, powerful, and eco-conscious — a lecture hall warrior that also pulls its weight in movie marathons.
Why we love it: “It’s quick, slim, and the battery lasts ages — no more panicking about finding a plug socket halfway through lectures.”
Need something light and simple? The Acer Iconia A8 is your sofa-sidekick and on-the-go gadget in one. With an 8.6” IPS display, Android 14, and 64GB storage, it’s perfect for streaming lectures, binging YouTube, or scrolling socials between classes. At just 400g, it slips into your backpack without weighing you down.
Top student perk: Compact, affordable, and ideal for Netflix-in-bed or taking notes on the bus.
Why we love it: “It’s super light and portable — perfect for scrolling or watching something on the train.”
Let’s face it — you’ll always need something printed at the last minute. The Epson WorkForce WF-2910DWF has your back. It’s an all-in-one printer that prints, scans, copies, and even faxes (yep, still a thing). With Wi-Fi Direct and mobile printing, you can zap essays straight from your phone, and the double-sided printing saves paper and pennies. Plus, if you grab one before 30th September 2025, you can bag up to £40 cashback.
Top student perk: No more running to the library printer five minutes before your deadline.
Why we love it: “The cashback deal is a win — plus it’s small enough to fit in a student bedroom without taking over the desk.”
Cloud storage is great… until Wi-Fi lets you down. The Kingston DataTraveler Exodia gives you 64GB of reliable, pocket-sized storage for assignments, photos, and playlists. Pop it on your keys and you’ve always got your work with you. Plus, it’s USB 3.2 Gen 1, so file transfers are speedy — no awkward waiting around in seminars.
Top student perk: Reliable backup for those “laptop crashed the night before deadline” nightmares.
Why we love it: “It’s tiny, cheap, and reliable — one of those student essentials you don’t realise you need until you actually need it.”
From binge-worthy screens to deadline-saving printers, these uni-ready gadgets are here to make life smoother, smarter, and a whole lot more fun. So whether you’re a first-year fresher or a postgrad pro, kit yourself out and get ready to smash the new term.
Now go ace those lectures (and maybe the pub quiz too).
