University Tech Must-Haves

The upcoming semester is set to be unlike any other ever experienced by students. Many universities have announced they’ll be doing online learning for at least the first semester, while others are going to attempt a blended approach where possible. No matter what approach your higher education institution is going to teach there is one thing we know for sure, new tech is a must for students. We’ve put together this handy list of things we recommend for students this year to help get the best learning experience. Here at The iOutlet we have plenty of great tech to help you get started!

iPads are an increasingly popular option for students to use during class to make notes or whilst studying at home. They have some definitive pros over laptops which are the more traditional option for students. Check out the refurbished iPads from The iOutlet for great prices and excellent customer service.

Firstly, they are super lightweight and smaller than most laptops meaning you can fit them into a bag you already like to use meaning you won’t be bunged down with a giant backpack as you walk between classes. If you do prefer the typing style of a laptop you can buy a keyboard add on for your iPad to enable you to type more easily.

They are often cheaper to repair than laptops and won’t take as long to be checked over. In fact, our repairs service means you can bring the product in-store or send your broken iPad to us by post to have them repaired quickly and responsibly. Plus if you buy your iPad from The iOutlet you’ll get a 12-month warranty included so you might not even have to pay for the repair if something goes wrong.

Refurbished iPhones for Uni Students

A phone that is reliable and has a great battery life is a must for uni. Not only do you want to capture great selfies of the experiences you are having with friends but you also want to see your class schedule, check emails and get to and from uni without needing to remember a power bank every time you leave the house. A refurbished iPhone gives you all this and more for a fantastic price, shop today and see all the great deals you can get!


If you do treat yourself to a new iPhone or iPad make sure you don’t leave it unprotected! No one enjoys a cracked screen so fit your device with a tempered glass screen protector to make the screens extra drop resistant… just in case!

Refurbished Apple Watches

The final thing we recommend for students, particularly those who need help getting up in the morning or keeping to a schedule is a smartwatch. The iOutlet sells refurbished Apple Watches from 1st generation onwards so you can set class reminders, alarms and store cards for easy payment on public transport to and from university making everything just that little bit easier as you enjoy life as a university student.
