Just because you are heading off to college dosen’t mean you are too old for toys. Hi, I’m Amber¹ Milt and here is our list of the must-have tech-toys you will need for life at college. First of all, you are gonna need a great computer, so you can email your friends, I am during class, I mean so you can take great notes and write those A-plus papers. I love the MacBook, it comes fully² stocked with every program you will need for school plus for fun, it has everything on there, so you can edit movies, download music, create your own websites, even slide shows. Plus, the built-in webcam will come really handy when mum gets that knee-jerk empty nest syndrome³ and needs a little visual proof that you are surviving college. Now the best thing about Mac is that you can save up to 200 dollars using a student discount. That’s a deal your parents will love,and you are gonna love this one. If you buy before September 16th , fulfill⁴ an iPod for free. Can’t make it to class because you slept in, I mean because your alarm didn't go off, well, you can put that new iPod to good use. Download classes and lectures at iTunes U.

When it comes to phones, enjoy your Blackberry for years while you still can. If you can’t afford an Apple iPhone, and what student can? Here is a few that won’t break the back.The LG env has everything you'll need to stay well-connected, the full keyboard makes text messaging easy and if you like to meet your text messaging all the time. Plus the screen is great for pictures and video, over all a great phone and not too expensive. If you want a phone that's also an mp3 player the LG Chocolate and Motoslvr are great choices. Now a night out of school is not complete without a camera to capture all of your friends' ridiculous antics. The Canon Powershot SD 1000 Digital ELPH camera is tiny enough to fit in your pocket or your smallest purse. It’s easy to use and red-eye is automatically corrected when you take the picture. Now smile and say cheese.

After you take all those great pics, print them out right in your dorm room with this cool photo printer also from Cannon⁵. All you do is insert a compatible memory card and print the photos, no computer needed. Preview your shots and make any adjustments using the colour LCD display. Photos will resist fading for up to 100 years. And if you have no room to store those bulky photo albums, just plug this digital frame and watch a slide show of all your favorite pictures.
