Back to School Tech Essentials: Smarter Gear for a Smarter Year

The school bell’s ringing, and that only means one thing—it’s time to gear up for the new academic year. But let’s be honest, back-to-school prep is no longer about just notebooks and pens. Today, tech is at the heart of every student’s routine—whether you're bingeing on research, grinding out assignments, or just trying to survive a packed day of lectures and deadlines.

At MyGizzmo, we’ve pulled together a killer lineup of student-friendly tech to help you hit the ground running. From backpacks built to carry your hustle to headphones that shut out the world so you can focus, we’ve got your back (and your bag).

1. Wenger Carbon 17" Laptop Backpack

Let’s start with the everyday MVP, your backpack. You carry it everywhere, so it better keep up.

The Wenger Carbon 17" Laptop Backpack is more than just sleek, it’s smart. It’s got a padded laptop compartment that fits up to 17", two side mesh pockets for your bottle or umbrella, and a hidden stash pocket for those “need it now” essentials.

Comfort-wise? This bag wins. Think shock-absorbing shoulder straps, airflow back padding (goodbye, sweaty commutes), and a stabilising base so it doesn’t topple over like a sack of potatoes.

Why it’s a top pick:
✔️ Laptop-friendly + extra protection
✔️ Built for everyday wear and tear
✔️ Organiser pockets that actually make sense
✔️ Looks sharp—whether you’re on campus or on the tube

2. Shut Out the Noise, Not the World: Urbanista Miami Wireless Headphones

Library chaos? Noisy roommates? Loud buses? Block it all out with Urbanista Miami Wireless Headphones.

These headphones aren’t just about amazing sound, they’re about focus. With Active Noise Cancelling, you can drown out distractions and dive into your workflow. But if you're walking to class or navigating a busy street, just flip on Ambient Sound Mode to hear what’s going on around you without missing a beat.

Plus, they’re ridiculously smart. Thanks to on-ear detection, your music pauses the moment you take them off, then picks right back up when you pop them on. No buttons, no hassle. And with 50 hours of playtime, you'll probably forget where your charger even is.

Why they rock:
✔️ Noise-cancelling AND ambient-aware
✔️ Long battery life = no midweek charging panic
✔️ Auto-pause feature that just gets it
✔️ Comes with a tough carry case for your bag

3. Don’t Sleep on the Little Things: Must-Have Accessories

Your laptop and phone may be the stars, but the supporting cast can make or break your day.

We’re talking the unsung heroes of student life:

• Portable chargers: Because “low battery” during lectures is a modern tragedy

• Wireless mice: Especially handy for those late-night assignment sprints

• Cable organisers: Say goodbye to messy tangles and lost USBs

• USB hubs: Plug all your devices in, no swapping required

4. Stay Powered Anywhere: Solar & Portable Power Options

Study sessions in the park? Camping trips with classmates? Live in a flat with dodgy power? Whatever your scene, staying charged is non-negotiable.

Our Power & Solar collection has compact solar panels, portable generators, and rechargeable power banks that give you total freedom—no plug required. Ideal for eco-conscious students and digital nomads alike, these gadgets keep your devices alive wherever your day (or night) takes you.
