8 Apple iPad Pro
Let’s start with some back to school basics. The iPad Pro is a perfect choice for in-class action. Promoted by Apple as more powerful than most PC laptops, this beautiful tablet lets you do anything a computer can, with a size smaller than a traditional schoolbook. A very flexible tool, this can be used for more than note taking as it can balance plenty of the workload with its multi-tasking capabilities. Apple will take off 20 dollars for students, and will also throw in Beats Solo3 Wireless headphones to sweeten the pot.
7 Apple Pencil
The Apple Pencil is the perfect companion for the Apple iPad Pro. This little gadget is an artist’s dream; the Apple Pencil allows users to draw digital images with precision and ease thanks to its pressure sensitivity capabilities. It also makes hand written notes incredibly easy to perform. The usual price for the Apple pencil is $99 but is currently priced at $89 for students.
6 Pro Tools
This Pro Tools bundle is a must have for those future video makers and musicians. Priced at an incredible $199, the Pro Tools bundle includes Final Cut Pro X, Logic Pro X, Motion 5, Compressor 4 and MainStage 3. All of the software programs included are of professional caliber and available for students at a ridiculous price. If you were to purchase these programs separately, it would cost around $600 with Final Cut Pro X alone setting you back $299.99. It's quite a steal.
5 Belkin Fitness Armband for iPhone X
Okay this one may not be an essential, but it's something to keep in mind. When school begins to get tough, exercising is the one of the best ways to lower your stress. When working out, you've got to rock those motivational tunes and this is where the Belkin Fitness Armband becomes your best friend. It’s simple, lightweight and it holds your iPhone at a reasonable price.
4 Apple HomePod
If you are getting Apple Music for half the price, you better have something great to kick out the jams. Apple’s HomePod is pretty much all you need by your desk while working on homework late at night. This great sounding speaker also doubles as a smart home hub, giving you access to Siri and access to all other voice assisted controls.
3 Apple iMac 21.5-inch Desktop
In a time where everything keeps getting smaller and more convenient, a desktop may not be the first thing that qualifies as essential, but not every piece of hardware has to be portable. There are plenty of perks to having a desktop computer, bigger screen, bigger keyboards and well pretty much bigger everything. Desktop computers can also be less expensive. The real perk though is that a desktop is a great investment as it usually holds a longer lifespan than a laptop. If that's what you are looking for, then the Apple iMac 21.5-inch desktop computer may be the way to go. Apple is currently knocking off $100 off and throwing in Beats Solo3 Wireless headphones.
2 Apple MacBook Air 13-inch Laptop
Let's be real for minute here, even though it would be nice to own desktop, most students need their computer to be road ready. The Apple MacBook Air 13-inch laptop is the perfect companion; it's thin, lightweight and has an impressive battery life. It also comes equipped with a number of useful apps and the standard perks of macOS. What's even better, is that you can snatch one for only $849 including a free pair of Beats.
1 Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch Laptop
There are quite a few options to choose from when it comes to MacBook Pro laptops, but out of all of them, the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch laptop may be the most student worthy laptop on the market. It has a great introductory price and comes with all the Apple greatness that came before in a brand new design. It’s slimmed down, has the colorful Retina display and faster graphics. It may not come with the fancy touch bar but for the price, it can’t be beat. Any student out there that has been holding off buying a MacBook Pro should start here, this model too includes a free pair of Beats.
