    The New & Unique 'Back To School' Gadgets I Showed On World News Now.

    Here's the spot as it aired on World News Now, ABC Network: https://abcnews.go.com/WNN/video/back-school-gadgets-72300873 

    Which should I get? Laptop or tablet? Why not both? In one device! 

    It's the 2020 version of the very popular Acer Spin 3

    . This versatile notebook has a 360-degree hinge, so the touchscreen display can be used in virtually any position, notebook, tablet, or tent mode, perfect for watching learning videos, or even for playing games when lessons are over. There is a built-in garage for the active stylus that uses Wacom AES technology and keeps it from being misplaced. Powered by a 10th Generation Intel Core processor it can deliver up to 12 hours of battery life. There's and 14-inch full HD IPS display, webcam, microphone, stereo speakers, integrated fingerprint reader and durable aluminum chassis. Available starting at $500. Higher end models might include deluxe features like an Intel i7 chip, 512 GB Solid State Drive, and up to 8GB of ram. Available now at places like WalMart, Amazon and Costco.

    Searching online, here are the specs of the $699.00 model at Walmart: Acer Spin 3, 2-in-1 Laptop, 14" Full HD IPS Touch, 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Rechargeable Active Stylus, SP314-54N-77L5 (Google Classroom Compatible). This was lower than the price I saw on Amazon. (As of 8/9/20)
