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.

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.

The Resurgence of Vinyl – Pt 3

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.

New games for August: No Man’s Sky, Madden 17, and more!

August is here! This month will see a few more titles than last month as we head into those prime autumn gaming months! We have 8 new games for you this month, including some sequels, some franchise entries, and one of the most anticipated games of the year. Let’s take a look!

 

No Man’s Sky

It’s finally here. We’re starting off with No Man’s Sky; one of the most anticipated titles of 2016! Take control of a spaceship and explore a completely procedurally generated universe with over 18 quintillion planets (that’s too many zeros to reasonably type out), no two of which will be alike. Each will have it’s own flora and fauna as well as alien races to encounter. Exploration and survival, along with combat and trading, are the four pillars of the game and you must do all of them to succeed.

The universe is so big that the publisher estimates that over 99% of if it will never be seen by the players, and while you are online while you play the chances of meeting another player are reportedly less than 1%, but if you do meet someone you’ll be able to play together.

The main takeaway from all this is that No Man’s Sky is huge and ambitious and potentially a major game changer. It’ll be out on August 9th on PlayStation 4.
