    All kids need is a phone and social media.

    I’m not really sure if recommending a ton of Apple products to prospective college students is really doing a good job preparing them for the real world. Many of us are pretty broke and don’t have money to replace broken Apple products.

      Which ones were Apple other than the MacBook?

    Thank you so much for watching! ✏ LMK if you have any questions about these products, have tried any of them, or have any of your own back-to-school essentials that I didn’t include. 👀

      Great video. I liked several of the items, but I don’t have any Apple tech. Do you have any non-Apple recommendations?
      For example, does the laptop case come in a version for Dell computers? Etc.

    Thank you for recommending the kind of MacBook. My daughter will be starting college next year and have no idea about what kind of MacBook she would need. All I see is these $2k MacBooks out there and think there is no way she could afford one.

    I’m a case guy for my phones, but its not necessary for the Macs. Those aluminum bodies are pretty robust. I’ve had about 5 aluminum macs and they all still look pretty new( but I do take care of my stuff). Also, the cases help with heat dissipation, so I would’nt want to mess with that.

    The $1 store notebook notes i still have em

      And if you really wanted to store them electronically, you could take a picture of it with your smartphone or scan it afterwards. Not worth $300, the headache of worrying about dropping it, spilling drinks over it, or someone stealing it.

    • Just Plain MƎEN

      @👻 Face this too. Most Note apps are free to upload/scan pictures in (ex One Note)

    Apple products are intelligence tax. Never recommend them.

    I worked at a university. Be extremely leery on buying a Mac as a primary, especially M series. Alot of software needed for engineering, science, ect do not run on mac, let alone their M series stuff. The intel based you can bootcamp or get a VM, but a large amount of students would always need to go to the library and use our windows machines for it. Most didn’t know alot of stuff about computing, so when you tell them their $2k+ machine didn’t do something they got pretty heated, even though that’s the reality. Most programs are horrendously outdated, and prof’s rarely update unless they have to.

    Apple does not recommend the use of keyboard covers due to the low tolerance between the keyboard and screen

    Disappointed, but not, surprised that there’s a MacBook with no alternatives. I get that it’s very mainstream to have one, but not all college students and families can afford one. It would’ve been good to see some other offerings from Chromebooks and PC. Kinda badfor a tech channel to not think outside the Apple box on that one, but I did appreciate the ReMarkable ad Rocket notebook offerings.

    I personally do not like MacBooks. Too many dongles and adapters for me! I currently own one but plan on switching to a Windows PC soon.

    You absolutely don’t need a $1k macbook… My $350 Acer helped me flawlessly through a math based graduate degree, and it could run all the statistical programs I needed… Only difference is I’d probably look out of place in a Starbucks

    Unless you’re in media, audio or visual related studies where you need those types of software, a macbook is NOT necessary other than to show others you can afford one.

    For those prices, get yourself a good windows setup.

    Too much Mac fangirling especially speaking for college kids and the over the top hand gestures are a bit too much. Otherwise, she did a good job.

    – I have to side with the others about the Mac Laptop being a BAD idea. My work has always been Microsoft programs with Microsoft customers.
    – The best writing tablet would be the Samsung Tab S6 Lite or Tab S7 fe. There’s no alternates that come close to capability and price.

    As a Filipino, seeing the badge holder be a “nerdy” thing and a separate purchase is pretty jarring considering in universities here, it is provided with the ID and is REQUIRED to wear anytime you are on campus. Some schools even enforce a uniform on even the ID lace.
