Laptop<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After high school, one thing every graduate requires to have is a laptop. Want to know why? A laptop stores your documents, movies, music, photos, etc. It also gives you access to the internet, where you can do research and also network on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook. It also lets you play games, bet online, access eLearning, and many more. Not having a laptop at campus is as good as subjecting yourself to inconveniences.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Smartphone\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Smartphone<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A smartphone is essential for communication, scheduling, timekeeping, and even transactions. Nevertheless, you wouldn\u2019t want to carry a phone all the time without fun things to do with it. This is where a smartphone comes in. A smartphone is basically a portable computer. You can do with it what you can do on your laptop. I even don\u2019t understand why I\u2019m explaining this. A smartphone is a basic need that everyone must have.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Flash_disk\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. Flash disk<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your laptop cannot have all the music and movies in this. And you cannot carry it every time you want to go somewhere and copy to it what you don\u2019t have. This is where a flash disk kicks in. A flash disk is a more effective portable storage device, especially if it has a big storage capacity. You can plug it into any computer and secure your little files.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_LAN_Cable\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4. LAN Cable<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You must be wondering why I have included this cable here. This cable comes in handy when the WiFi at campus is slow. You can directly connect your computer to network sockets using your LAN cable and enjoy high internet speeds. In addition, a LAN cable also enables a speedy transfer of data between computers. If you are a gamer, you can even play games like Need for Speed with your friends without sharing a laptop.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Memory_Card\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5. Memory Card<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I guess you noticed that I\u2019m still insisting on storage devices. A memory card adds more storage capacity to your phone. You need not less than 10 GB of storage space in your mobile phone to strive well. Boosting your storage with a USB card can give you enough space to download stuff like mobile apps and youtube videos if you have access to free WiFi.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_A_System\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">6. A System<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A system is not a basic need, but it can surely help you. It would be best if you had something to entertain you while resting, thinking, or doing your stuff in your hostel room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A system can keep you connected to the world through radio and gives you amazingly awesome sound effects when watching your favorite movies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you want to hold a party in your room, a system will give the music that keeps your jam hyped. A system provides you with an incredible campus experience. I can\u2019t imagine life at campus without a woofer, soundbar, or home theatre.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Calculator\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">7. Calculator<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I couldn\u2019t leave out this. In fact, it should have topped the list. Most courses at University involve Math. So, it can be tough to survive without a calculator. You will need a calculator, especially during exams, since sharing calculators in an exam is not allowed at most institutions. Get one for yourself, at least an acceptable one like the Casio fx-82ms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Those are the seven essential gadgets every Ugandan university student must have. In addition, you should also consider having the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Gaming pad<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">USB cable<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Power-bank<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Power Extension<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">External Hard drive<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Modem\/MiFi<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Earphones\/headphones<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Thanks for reading. Feel free to leave a comment or ask any questions. You can also add what you think is essential but has not been included.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this digital generation, we are practically limited from doing certain things if we do not have electronics close to us.
