These days, we demand a lot out of our headphones. We want them to be comfortable and easy to wear. We want them to silence the noises around us. We want to be able to send and receive texts. Oh, and we want the sound to still be awesome.

The recent eclipse reignited my interest in stargazing. After looking through a number of online recommendations, I settled on the AWB One Sky.
The 5-inch f/5 reflector is a nice balance between features and price for a beginner. The telescope even collapses down into a very portable package for bringing to the local dark part for viewing the stars.
I particularly like that half of the $199 price goes to funding Astronomers Without Borders worldwide education programs.
College students tend to rely on a lot of tech for school, and for them, the hot new trend is the smart dorm. It’s like a smart home away from home.

For many, it’s Back to School shopping season. When looking at laptops, students and parents may wish to consider either a 2-in-1 laptop or a touchscreen laptop compatible with the updated Windows Ink feature included with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update.
Windows Ink allows owners to use a digital pen to easily write or draw on the screen and convert their pictures or text into equations, documents, social media posts, reminders, map updates and more.
For more information about Windows Ink.
I also encourage students and parents to sign up at the Best Buy Student Hub for the chance to receive special Back to School offers for students, like coupons worth $100+ on select laptops.
