Going to college is such an exciting and wonderful experience, but it can be frightening and overwhelming at the same time. If your child is living at school, there is a lot of prep work as far as what they need to bring and what they need to know. We hope this feature will help them get going. We've started off with some of the main necessities that they will most likely need and then, at the end of this feature, we've compiled a list that we hope will help them to get organized for the exciting experience they are about to embark on. We wish them all the best of luck in their new endeavors.
Apple Computers.
MacBook Pro Computer. We have been supporting Apple before they were a household name. The reason is simple. They make the best computers and cell phones on the planet. It's not just their looks, although we love the clean, simple beauty of their products. And it's not just their functionality, although they are always on top of the game, no matter what the game is. It's how beautifully their products work side-by-side, integrating software, hardware, apps, and everything in between. Apple's products work together harmoniously, and effortlessly. You don't have to be a tekkie to figure them out. Who needs more complications in their life. We need simplicity, ease of use, and trust. Apple provides all of that, and more.

Better resolution, bigger size, more features. That's how we all feel about televisions. They are the integral piece of your home theater system. There are so many models out there and it's difficult choosing one that will best fit your home theater needs but we found two 4K models that are reasonably priced, have excellent features and crisp, gorgeous, true-to-life pictures, with beautiful aesthetics. We are confident with our choices.
4K is the new superstar in televisions. Ultra High Definition. With about 8 million pixels, 4K is four times what your current 1080p set can display. More pixels offer more information and that offers sharper pictures. We want the sharpest pictures we can get, don't we? (Just remember, though, that you need to be viewing 4K content to get the full effect, or sitting closer, which is doable with this TV.) The ability to get up close to the screen without the image breaking down is one of the most intoxicating things about 4K. A 4K display reveals an astonishing increase in nuance and detail. Blu-Ray players and movies are starting t come out in 4K, Amazon and Netflix are testing it out, and a few films and TV shows are filming in 4K. This is only the beginning.

Schwinn Bicycles.
The best way to get around your college campus is either walking or by using a bicycle. Schwinn Bicycles have been around for decades and we're certain that they'll be around for many more decades to come. There's a good reason for that. Schwinn bicycles are so impressive, with choices to fit every lifestyle and every budget. In addition to the variety of their lines, their bikes are beautifully designed, made with the best materials available, they're lightweight, and reasonably priced, even at the highest level. A Schwinn bike will last for years and through many miles. Schwinn has always been one of the true leaders in the bicycle category and they will continue that tradition for a long time to come.
Dyson. (www.dyson.com)
Don’t go anywhere else for the ultimate floor cleaning tools and fans and heaters. James Dyson takes everyday products and makes them the best and most efficient they can be...and his design are outstanding, winning many awards over the years. He set out with a dream to create the ultimate vacuum cleaner and, after thousands of failed prototypes and deals, his dream came true, boy did it ever come true! In addition to creating the most outstanding vacuums, his air multipliers/fans, heaters and combos not only look simple yet stunning, but they provide steady streams of smooth air for the best in comfort.
Dyson AM05 Hot+Cool Fan Heater... Heat an entire room, or cool it down, faster than any other heater or fan we've seen. Just set the target temperature to the degree you want and this awesome product's Air Multiplier technology generates a high-speed jet of warm or cool air to project heat and cold further and faster. Dyson fans and heaters have no blades... instead, they provide a steady stream of smooth cooling or heating air versus spinning blades which usually chop and reduce the amount of preferred (warm or cool) air you receive. No more chilly or hot nights when you don’t want them! The Dyson Hot+Cool Fan Heater gives you a whole lot of bang for your buck and saves space in your room. It's two awesome products in one!
DC59 Animal Stick... You will actually enjoy vacuuming with this great little stick. Its suction is truly amazing for its size and we love its incredible design. Amazingly, it sucks up as much dirt and dust as a corded full-size vacuum without the weight and hassles. The DC59 is powered by the Dyson digital motor V6. The 350W motor, 2 Tier Radial cyclones and nickel manganese cobalt battery provide incredible suction. It combines suction and wiping to remove dust and grime at the same time. Its swivel neck allows it to be manuevered into awkward places with a turn of the wrist. Dyson's patented Root Cyclone technology doesn’t rely on a bag to trap all the dust and dirt. Instead, it spins the air so fast that centrifugal forces up to 70,000 times the force of gravity fling dust and dirt out of the air and straight into the clear bin and, because there’s no bag to clog, there’s no loss of suction. 15 minutes of powerful, constant suction, or 6 minutes on boost mode for more difficult tasks are remarkable. The long-reach wand is detachable, so DC59 can also be used as a handheld with the Combination and Crevice tools and the tools fit directly to the machine. It is wonderful!)
