With college students moving into their dorm rooms, the top tech trends are becoming very clear.

When it comes to college gadgets, there are three primary categories of tech: the stuff you want, but won’t use; the stuff you want and will use all the time; and the stuff you don’t think you want, but that will make a huge difference in your life.

All three of those types of mobile gadgets are popping up on college campuses across the country.

The lifestyle in residence and when renting off-campus isn’t the same as any other experience that will occur in a lifetime. For that reason, college gadgets aren’t always the same as the types of technology that are being seen at other levels of back to school shopping. When making the right choices, you can make fantastic investments into mobile tech and accessories that will make all the difference in making your school year more bearable.

Check out these hottest college gadgets and how they could make your school year awesome.

• Noise-cancelling headphones – since roommates and neighbors don’t tend to have all that much respect for what you do and don’t want to hear, a great pair of noise-cancelling headphones (like the very affordable Audio-Technical ATH-ANCI model for $79.95) can make all the difference in keeping your sanity.
• Portable battery charger – whether you need to make sure that you have extra juice for your smartphone, your tablet, or any other electronics that you bring with you to class or on the go, the Mogix external battery charger will give you around 6 charges to your cell phone without ever needing to be recharged. The slimmest and lightest in its high-powered class, it even charges devices faster than if you were to plug them into a wall – and it can charge two at a time.
• Super-powered alarm clock – if you choose the Sonic Boom Alarm Clock, your roommate might want to invest in some of those noise cancelling headphones, but you’ll guarantee to yourself that you’ll never miss a single early morning class.
• Light therapy skin care – sick of spending a fortune on acne skin care, or dealing with the side effects, bleached clothing, and smell of those products? Three 30-second sessions of acne light therapy that combines two ranges of blue wavelength and one range type of red wavelength can give your skin all it needs. In fact, it’s been proven in studies to be even more effective than benzoyl peroxide. For a total of 90 seconds of shining a light on your face, you can’t ask for much more.

New research from NetSol has shown that this could be very helpful to both the automotive and financial sectors.

According to NetSol Technologies IT and enterprise software provider, mobile technology is having a transformative effect on both the automotive financing and leasing sectors by decreasing the amount of origination and decision making time required for loans.

This conclusion was made within a white paper that was issued by the firm about the impact of mobile tech.

Enterprise mobile technology is making it possible for financial institutions to be able to enhance their operational efficiencies to the extent that significant costs can be reduced from the elimination of the requirement to print and mail out documents to customers and other institutions. Beyond the cost savings, there is also a considerable amount of time savings as the amount of time needed for responses is reduced.

Mobile technology makes it possible for financial institutions to provide customers with information, anywhere.

This means that it doesn’t matter where the customer is, he or she can gain the information that is needed to take out an auto loan using smartphones or tablets, without the need for actual paperwork. This can all be provided to customers on the spot.

NetSol Technologies CEO, Najeeb Ghauri, explained that “Netsol’s research shows how mobile technology is positively impacting the global auto-leasing industry.” Earlier in 2015, the company had implemented a form of mobile point of sale system to an auto company that remained unidentified. This made it possible for dealerships to be able to complete the contract origination process through the use of a smartphone or tablet.

The implementation process, which involved training staff members who would be using the service. Following that period, the unnamed dealer experienced considerable origination time and efficiency improvements, said NetSol.

A recent study conducted by 451 Research suggested that POS systems run over mobile technology are starting to have an impact in multiple sectors, which are not limited to the auto industry. It explained that there is actually a considerable cross-sector draw for using points of sale over devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.
