With the end of summer fast approaching and college classes already starting in some parts of the country, parents are scrambling to find last-minute tech options for their children.
College students are mobile and need versatile technologies that allow them to learn, stream music and videos, and even play games with just a few devices.
In student dorms, space is limited and when you only have a desk and a dresser, technical solutions have to make sense.
Don’t send your student back to campus without the tools they need. We have some suggestions that won’t take up much desk space and are super portable.
Roku Select Series TVs
Perfect for the dorm or kids’ room, Roku’s highly rated Select Series TVs offer the simplicity of a TV designed specifically for streaming. With the power of Roku’s leading operating system, this TV has everything your student needs for back-to-school entertainment.
