With built-in dual speakers, you’ll be able to take full advantage of this booming tablet. Kindle Paperwhite 6” E-reader Although we’re sad to say it, books and technology find it difficult to co-exist. With so many bingeworthy shows on Netflix, you must have an ironclad will to sit down, unplug and read a book. The Kindle is fascinating; it reconciles the convenience of technology with the originality of old-fashioned books. Whilst most tablets offer some sort of e-reading features or apps, the Kindle’s strength lies in the fact that it only offers you books. This means you won’t be disturbed or tempted by distractions or notifications. You also have access to the millions of different books offered on Amazon. So, this really simulates reading a book in an old-fashioned way. HP Stream Well, it certainly looks like HP makes some mean machines. With one of the best value laptops on the market, the HP Stream will make you feel limitless in your capabilities, without limiting your budget.

With this behemoth of battery life, it also doubles as your own power outlet, offering a fast-charging USB outlet for all your devices. As if it couldn’t get any better, you also get a free 1-year subscription to Microsoft 365, meaning you get access to super helpful programs like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
