LD Experts: 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.

First, consider what you need. Mainly web surfing and word processing? Keep it light and low-priced with good battery life. Running deep data analysis or, you know, video games? Step up in screen size and processing power.

That means there are two broad categories of back-to-school laptops. Let’s call them essential and advanced. Below are four recommendations for each category spread between the most popular laptop brands.

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

Vinyl-Record-Day-2016_22x28

Well, where do we start?

AUGUST 12, 2016 VINYL OFFERS*

*Offers only available on August 12, 2016

2015 marked the 10th year in a row that Vinyl sales have shown an increase in sales. In 2015, 11.29 million Vinyl units were sold. This is up from 9.2 million units in 2014. 2.1 million MORE units than the previous year!! How cool is that!?!? These sales figures are proving that Vinyl is no longer a fringe music format enjoyed by only the purist audiophile. Will Vinyl become so popular that it will overtake the giants in the streaming industry? More than likely no but it is proving that even though there are audio formats that have superior sound quality (that is up for debate of course), Vinyl can survive and even flourish.
