It’s time to load up on the latest and greatest gadgets for the pending school year. Last year’s MacBook isn’t the same as this year’s, and the iPad isn’t the only viable tablet anymore. Laptops and tablets are a helpful tool for most students so you need to make sure you stay current on today’s best notebooks and tabs.

To help you prep for your return to the classroom, here are some of our favorite accessories for back to school tech:
