You have the talent NRV-NMRV Reducers Suppliers, but do you have

the tools to go back to college. Check out some cool and essential

gear for going back to school.

Going back to college can be a

difficult process. Purchasing school supplies and equipment to help

with school work can be a very difficult process. Getting the right

gear can be a big help for going back to college.

1. Mouse: Even for those who own

a laptop, an external mouse is and excellent idea for school.

External mice are easier to use and more reliable than finger pads

and pointing sticks. They also require the student to sit at a desk

and sit up straight instead of lounging on a couch while doing

homework, which is never a good idea.

2. All-in one printer: Printer

ink may be expensive today, but it is difficult to deny the

convenience and versatility of modern printers. Printer malfunctions

on shared printers are very common, and teachers are becoming less

tolerant of printer malfunctions as an excuse for a late paper.

Students who have their own printer can often avoid long lines, high

costs, and malfunctions common on shared printers. Also, many

printers can work as fax machines, scanners, and copiers. Having

these tools conveniently at their disposal helps many students.

3. Backpacks: This is a very

common and essential piece of gear students own, but there are many

more options available than just color choices. Many backpacks now

come with reinforced compartments for laptops, some come with

security devices to prevent theft, and others have solar panels and

charge removable battery packs when exposed to sunlight. Finding the

right backpack is a choice that students going back to college

shouldn't take lightly.

4. Cooling Pads: Laptops are

amazing tools for college students, but the can overheat with

extended use. This can even prove a burn risk for those who rest

their laptop on their laps. Cooling pads are a good answer to this

problem, often powered by plugging into a usb port and providing

extra fans to keep the computer from overheating.

5. External Hard Drive: It's

crucial to keep a back up of your files. Laptops can be easily

stolen, computers can crash, and files may be lost or deleted by

accident. Keeping a backup of your most important files on an

external hard drive can be a student's best friend. Also keeping

large files such as video clips on a hard drive can free up memory on

a computer ensuring better performance.

6. USB Memory: Sometimes files

need to be transferred from one computer to another, and are too

large for transfer by e-mail. USB memory, most often known as flash

drives, are a quick way to transfer files. In a classroom setting

they are indispensable, as many professors may not allow students to

attach laptops to projection equipment for presentations but allow

flash drives to be inserted into the classroom computer. These drives

come in many forms, most are small “sticks” that can be kept in a

pocket or purse, but some come in more unique forms, such as key

shaped memory designed to go on a key ring, or bracelets and watches

that house detachable USB memory.

7. USB Hubs: USB devices have

quickly become the standard in todays computing world. Keyboards,

mice, webcams, even phones connect to computers through USB ports.

Often, the number of devices outnumbers the ports on a computer, or

the ports are located in inconvenient places on a computer making

quick attaching and detaching of USB devices difficult. To solve this

problem there are USB Hubs, these can turn one usb port into many

more ports and the hubs can often be placed in convenient locations.

Sometimes computer desks have USB hubs built into the desks.

8. Portable Power: Those who use

their laptops to take notes in class can often find it difficult to

go through and entire day of classes without having to recharge their

computer's batteries. A computer that runs out of power in the middle

of class can mean lost notes, or the student won't be able to take

notes if they rely exclusively on their laptop and don't bring a

notebook to class. Portable power packs can allow an alternative to

fighting for the few spots in the classroom that have access to a

power outlet.

9. Laptop Locks: Laptops are

clearly one of the most important tools a student can have when they

go back to college. Unfortunately, laptops are an easy target for

thieves, waiting for that one moment you aren't looking or turned

around to run off with your computer. Laptop Locks are important

tools in preventing this kind of theft. They are designed to attach a

laptop to a table and make quick theft much more difficult and they

typically cost under $100.

10. Apple Converters: If you

own an apple laptop, this is the one accessory you should not be

without. Most projectors don't have cables that can attach to an

apple laptop, but there are apple approved adapters and cables that

will allow apple computers to interface with these devices. It is a

small white cable that attaches to a laptop then attaches to a

projector cable. If you have an apple laptop, or are planning on

buying one for when you go back to college, get one of these

adapters. In fact, get two or three, put them in your backpack, your

purse, laptop bag, wherever. It's amazing how often these adapters

are needed in college classrooms.

Accessories and gear cannot make a bad

student a good one. They can however, make the life of a good student

going back to college much easier and the college experience much

more enjoyable.
