The Best Tablets for Back-to-School 2016

back to school 2016 tablets

Last week, our LD Experts covered the best school laptops of 2016. But what if you want a device that’s more practical for schoolwork than a smartphone, but lighter and generally cheaper than a laptop?

Of course, you’ll be interested in tablets. These days, that also includes convertibles or hybrids – with hideable or detachable keyboards. That way, they function as either a laptop or a tablet, as needed.

But which are your best options? As always, that depends on your needs and also your budget. Here are some of the best tablet options for 2016.

The Best Laptops for Back-to-School 2016

London Drugs School Laptops Guide

Returning to class, whether it’s grade school, college, or university, is always part-thrilling-part-daunting. If choosing a new laptop is among your 2016 concerns, our London Drugs Experts can help.

No matter what you do in 2016, London Drugs has a laptop for you. Here are some of the year’s best options.

Vinyl Listening Party

“Record Player” by Hoffnungsschimmer on Flickr

I was chatting with a fellow staff member the other day about Vinyl. The conversation went back and forth between the two of us about the merits of Vinyl and how we thought it was by far the best audio format. Eventually, we had to get back to work but the conversation really stuck with me. First, it was great to be able to chat with someone that thought Vinyl was as great as I did. The part that really stuck out was what we didn’t talk about and that was sharing our collections with others. How could we share this great audio format with friends and family? Then it dawned on me. A Listening Party! I went back to her a few days later and brought up my idea. She of course thought it was great (I am her boss after all) and below are some steps we came up with to throw an awesome Vinyl Listening Party.
