Your back-to-school shopping guide for 2019.

The carefree days of summer are coming to a close soon, which means it’s time to get back on track for the start of another school year. Haven’t started shopping for school supplies yet? Don’t worry! The Reviewed staff have been busy researching the best backpacks, laptops, dorm essentials, and much more.

If you’re in need of a new laptop, the Asus Chromebook Flip C302CA (about $473) is our top pick for students. The convertible hinge design lets you rotate the lid all the way around so you can use it like a tablet, making it easier to share information in a classroom setting.

For a budget-friendly alternative, the Acer Chromebook 11 N7 (about $273) is built to withstand drops up to 48 inches. The keyboard and trackpad are also sealed against small spills with a gutter system that drains liquids away.

A healthy, delicious packed lunch can help fuel a long day in the classroom. At about $36, the Monbento MB Original Bento Box is a well-built lunch container that helps with portion control. The divided layers also allow you to pack cold and hot dishes at the same time, expanding your lunch options.

For college students, a mini fridge will help elevate the dorm room experience by keeping beverages cool and leftovers fresh. The Kenmore Compact Mini Fridge (about $109) took first place for its high performance scores and affordability.

Once you have all of your school supplies, you’ll need a place to put them. Our experts tested tons of backpacks—and they selected the L.L. Bean Quad Pack (about $90) as the number one choice for back-to-school. This backpack combines rugged durability, plenty of storage options, and a cushy carrying experience with a reasonable price.
