Well, Time has rolled out it’s list of 25 Must Have tech items for this year’s crop of incoming Freshmen…and I for one am not sure what economy they think they are writing for. The phone of choice is an iPhone 3G, ok, obviously. Kids are kids…but the laptop is a 13 inch MacBook Pro. Isn’t that a bit pricey in these days of tight budgets and netbooks?
The champagne tastes don’t stop there…a 300 dollar Samsung digital camera, an Alienware gaming monitor, a Kindle DX, a Livescribe, a Optoma Projector…a ROOMBA???
Grand total for the list? At least $5015, not counting data plans, optional accessories or special notebooks for the Livescribe (at 15-25 bucks a pop).
Lets hope that someone puts out a more reasonable list of good back to school tech suggestions that won’t eat up the entire trust-fund…and that your kids don’t see this one by Time.
Any of you have suggestions on great tech deals or ideas you found for your kid’s this year?
