Are you shopping for an affordable Chromebook to supplement your computing needs? Perhaps you need a thin, portable tablet to take your document-editing and note-taking to the next level. How about a comfortable pair of headphones with noise-cancelling capabilities to boost your focus, a sharp new webcam to show your best side during Zoom calls, or a new fitness tracker to remind you to stand up and stretch every now and then?
If you said "yes" to any of these, Amazon has something for you, plus stylish backpacks and essentials like pencils, sticky notes, binders, and more.
Some of these deals are Prime-exclusive offers, but don’t fret if you're not a member, because you can snag a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime. College students, you really get a great deal: an exclusive six-month trial, after which you pay half price for Prime! All you have to do is sign up with your .edu email address and verify your university and graduation date.

Measuring 0.63 by 11.97 by 8.36 inches and weighing only 2.8 pounds, the 2020 Apple MacBook Air is extremely portable. The 8-core M1 Chip is powerful, but that doesn’t mean battery life suffers, and the 256GB SSD offers enough storage space for your files and photos. Because this is an Apple product, it also syncs up easily with other Apple devices.

Logitech PC Accessories
I use this Logitech 1080p HD webcam for my work meetings and it doubles as a mic. It’s a vast improvement over my laptop’s webcam and a great option for those who have laptops without one. A wireless mouse and keyboard is also much more comfortable for prolonged use than the laptop's built-in trackpad and keyboard.
