LapWorks USB Powered Keyboard Light
2 people recommended this item
Description
So many nights I stayed up writing in bed but couldn't see my keyboard because my roommate wanted to sleep with the lights off (makes sense, I guess). This is really helpful for any college student, or anyone who shares a room really. It allows you to work late in bed without disturbing others. What a nice roommate you are!

iSkin ProTouch Keyboard Protector for MacBook Pro
3 people recommended this item
Description
Ooh ooh ooh! These are so cool. Not dorky like some keyboard protectors are. These come in fun colors, and get rid of all the clackety clack noise that happens when your student is furiously taking notes in class. It's keeps your keyboard clean, too. We all know students and adults alike eat over their laptop quite a bit, so this is great insurance against any damage!

Bose In-Ear Headphones
11 people recommended this item
Description
High quality audio perfect for listening to music or movies on your laptop or mp3 players. Bose does it again with their amazing sounding headphones. These in-ear buds seem as if you're listening to stereo headphones, but can be discreetly tucked away in your ears. They come with a really nice traveling kit as well, so they stay protected even while on the go. A must for anyone, really, in this day and age.

Kensington PocketMouse Wireless Mini Travel Mouse
2 people recommended this item
Description
I use my wireless mic so often, I'd be lost without it. This is a good mouse for students because it is wireless and portable. Two button mouse with scroll wheel in the middle, it's everything your college student needs to surf the web for hours on end watching YouTube videos. When they're finished with their homework, of course!

Logitech mini notebook mouse

This is the actual mouse that I own. It fits my hand perfectly - not to small like some of the really mini mouses. The batteries last forever, and it can be used on any surface - no mouse pad required. Perfect for any web browsing fiend!

Description
Store important documents, music, and video files on this external to free up space on your laptop and for insurance for a hard drive crash. This just plugs into you USB and you can easily transfer your files over from your computer. Then, no matter what happens to your laptop, you have backed up everything important and there's no need to worry. Makes backing up your files easy, which is important because otherwise you may fail to do this very important task! A must for everyone with a computer. I've heard so many my-hard-drive-crashed sob stories!

Mimibot makes tons of unique and fun flash drives. Flash drives are essential for anyone who needs to take data from one computer to another. It makes doing so so easy! Perfect back to school gift for students because they run semi pricey (on a college student's budget) but are so necessary.

North Face Sweeper Backpack
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
I gave up on my DJ bag style bag. I loved how it looked but hated the back pain that resulted from me carrying too much stuff.
I also love my new backpack. I fill it up with heavy things and put it on my back and it feels like there's almost nothing in it. It has a pocket for my laptop and this pouch that fits my umbrella perfectly.
I know that adults carrying backpacks look goofy, but you know what, you look pretty goofy with the back pain.
