Media Invite - Best Buy Back to School Preview

From backpack to laptop - Best Buy has everything you need to take you back to school!

TORONTO, July 18, 2012 /CNW/ - On Wednesday, July 18, Best Buy Canada will be hosting an exclusive preview to showcase the must-have tech for students of all ages - from ultrabooks to tablets to smartphones and accessories.

Best Buy Geeks will be onsite to provide useful tips and tricks about how to use your gadgets for optimal learning and how heading back to the classroom has changed over the years:

• MobileEd: Mobile technology has changed how students learn, communicate and socialize. Parents and educators can find out how to adapt and incorporate mobile in to the classroom and everyday communication.
• Then & Now—Back to School Supplies: Back-to-school used to mean a set of new binders and dividers, a fresh box of pencil crayons and lots of whole-punched paper. Now, kids are looking for decals and skins for tablets and phones and a new laptop. Find out how heading back to school has changed over the years.
• Back to School on a Budget: The average Canadian spends $300 on back-to-school shopping with the majority going to consumer electronics. Find out how to refresh your tech without breaking the bank!

We invite you also to test out some new technology provided by our partners like Sharp, Samsung, Symantec and Logitech. They will be standing by to showcase their own new and exciting products for the Back to School season, including:

• New ultrabooks by Asus, Lenovo, Toshiba, Samsung and Acer

• LED and 3D televisions from Panasonic, LG and Samsung, as well as Sharp's  80"  & 90" TV
