Parent’s Guide to Back To School Computers – 10% discount code Chillblast
We know, we know. It’s that time of year; your teen goes back to school (or off to Uni), and there suddenly seem to be more demands than ever for work to be completed online, use online resources or at the very least for work to be submitted by email. You thought it had been bad in the holidays, but now fighting for space on the family laptop becomes a daily struggle. And that’s not even mentioning their downtime leisure...

So the last few weeks have been a weird combination of grumpy denial (I do NOT like being retsricted to school term dates again!), floating sadness (we’re going to miss hi and his mugs of tea) and excited preparations. About the only things we’ve not had to...
Introducing the UDOO Neo – Tech Stuff for Baffled Parents

It was the next logical step on from the fabulously ground-breaking Raspberry Pi, and combined the Pi with Arduino, letting you run the tiny computer as well as control electronic projects.

Affordable Laptop? Check the Dell Inspiron 15, it’s under £250!
Okay, so your laptop is groaning, creaking and clattering in an alarming fashion, huffing and puffing when you have the outrageous cheek to expect it to open emails before the kettle has boiled.
