Best tech on the cheap for back to school
Technology is needed for students heading back to class, but you don't want to spend too much on something that may be lost sooner than that math book.
CNET has come up with a list of the best bets for under $50.
Here are their reporters' top five types of tech.
The Misfit Flash has a range of prices from $27.99 to $49.99. It is a fitness tracker that works with both Android phones and iPhones.
Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones help block out sound and keep your music private. They come in a variety of colors and start at $34.36.
The Logitech X100 Bluetooth speaker comes in various colors and the CNet testers said it has a good sound for not a lot of money. They cost between $36.88 and $49.00.
Tylt Energi 2k is a standard USB changer that can have a second life as a battery pack. It sports fold-away prongs. When a device is plugged in, it charges that first, but will then charge its internal battery when your device is full. All that comes in the box is the charger. No cable is included. The price starts at $27.54.
The Logitech K480 Bluetooth keyboard will let you use your iPad, iPhone or any other tablet or phone with Bluetooth as a computer. If you have a long message to type and the screen keyboard is too small, connect and toggle between three devices on this keyboard. It even sports a slot that will work as a stand for your device. It comes in cheaper than many Bluetooth keyboard cases at only $34.95.
