Hey, hey, it's contest time! While I'm off doing the Rosh Hashanah thing today, I leave you with a giveaway that will give three winners a nice little pile of gadget booty.
This is loosely themed around dorm rooms, but why should students have all the fun? These prizes are great for anyone who carries a mobile device, listens to music and/or sits at a desk.
One grand prize winner will receive the following:
- A TaoTronics Eye-caring LED desk lamp with four lighting modes, a touch-sensitive dimmer, an auto-off timer and two USB charging ports. I don't know what "eye-caring" is, but I do know this popular item (which you can read about here) costs $60.
- A TaoTronics Bluetooth sport earbud headset, also a popular item.
- A RAVPower 16,000mAh mobile phone charger with 2.1- and 2.4-amp outputs and an LED flashlight. It normally sells for $36.99 and has stellar ratings.
So, yeah, about a hundred bucks' worth of cool booty. Worth the time to answer a simple question, don't you think? That's all you have to do to enter this giveaway, so check the rules below, hit the comments section and riddle me this: What's the single most essential tech product for the modern student? (Even if you're not a student, weigh in.)
Oh, and two runners-up will receive a similar bundle, but with a RAVPower desktop USB charging station in place of the phone charger.
