Most students are on holiday and while one would assume the same would be the case for teachers and parents, we know many are busy through these precious summer weeks. That's why we're running the XDA Back to School event this week where you'll find some enticing content on how to find the right devices for either yourself or a budding student for the next term. Then there's a look at 3D printing, subscriptions, productivity, AI, and much more.

We'll help you prep for school

From new devices to apps

You've likely come across a Back to School event in most electronics stores, subscriptions, and most publications and can often feel like an excuse for companies to sell you a product you likely don't require. That's where XDA's Back to School week comes into play. We're not here to round up the best laptops you should purchase for more than $1,000, nor will we be flogging some obscure subscription service that won't add any benefit to your new term.

What you will find on XDA this week is a collection of articles on getting the most from 3D printing to save money and make your life easier at school. You'll also see us recommend some epic Docker containers to self-host powerful platforms from home, providing you with the means to succeed. Then there are personal recommendations from some on the XDA team who are prepping for their next year of studies, so you know they're in the same boat.

You may even see something from one of the older staff members who wish they did things a little differently when they were studying. And how about some games that nailed the student life best? You'll find all this and more as we progress through Back to School right here at XDA. Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter and check out our Back to School hub for all the latest from the team.
