MINNEAPOLIS — Back to school is about much more than just pens, pencils and notebooks. These days, kids also need tablets, laptops and maybe even a new phone as they head back to class.
Gadget Guy Steve Greenberg joined KARE 11 Saturday with his recommendations for what students need for the 2024 school year.
Gabb Phone 4 Pro: This phone has more parental protections built in, plus offers access to "Gabb Music," the largest safe music library in the world.
ASUS’ ROG Ally X handheld device: This handheld gaming device not only plays Steam, Xbox Games and Epic, it's also powered by Windows and can easily access programs like Excel and Word.
EarFun Air Pro 4 Earbuds: These earbuds cost less than $100 and have a wide range of features. From proprietary QuietSmart™ 3.0 Adaptive Hybrid Noise-canceling Technology to the 52 hours long battery life, these are great for the upcoming year.
According to The Gadget Guy, EarFun Air Pro 4 is available on Amazon for $89.99 but with an available 20% off coupon on the Amazon product page, it’s actually just $71.99.
Kenu Stance+ 10-in-1 Smartphone Super Gadget: This multi-purpose mount can hold your smartphone anywhere and it's smaller than a credit card.
It's for sale for around $60 at kenu.com or thegrommet.com.
