If you are planning on going full Elle Woods and studying non-stop this semester, there are so many super cool electronics and gadgets to help you get there. Even better news: if you swing iPad when it comes to tablet life, the Apple deals for Amazon Prime Day will actually save you money. Considering they’re usually some of the most expensive tech on the market, this is the time to take advantage if you’ve been dreaming of a cute little iPad Mini and say, the Apple Pencil, which is not just a powerful tool, but also cute as heck, styled after an actual pencil.
Don’t you just study better when the color of your iPad also just makes you happy? It’s a thing.
All of the products on sale have great reviews specifically from college students, too, who rave about charging times and how easily things like the mouse and keyboard sync up so you’re never stuck in the middle of a lecture and you can’t finish taking notes. Also, they’re easy to lug around. One reviewer shares, “I never realized how much I needed an iPad until I got this. The mini is so cute and it fits in my medium size purse. There’s nothing it can’t do that the newer or bigger ones can’t. Easy to travel with. Easy to use and high performance. The sound is strong… Definitely worth the price.”
And since it’s Amazon Prime Day on July 16 and 17, they’re even more worth it. You don’t need a fancy new iPad to pick up your GPA, but it can’t hurt.

If you’re turning your iPad into a note taking and studying machine, spring for the mouse. Especially when it’s $20 bucks cheaper than it usually is.
One review sums up the experience with, “Actually amazed with this mouse. I never saw myself owning one of these, but decided to buy it because why not. This mouse is crazy. The scrolling is amazing, the lighting it has is cool. It fits just right with my hand and the battery life lasts more than a week for me.”
