September welcomes in the start of a new academic year and students around the country can now study and party in style with a fantastic array of gadgets and gizmos from M&S Technology.

Choose from a wide selection of essentials from leading brands such as Apple and Sony as well as M&S own brand products at a range of prices that won’t break the student loan. Be on time for your lectures with a snappy Digital Radio Alarm Clock; with its multiple independent alarms there are no excuses for being late. Surf the internet, store photos and write essays on a new sleek laptop; the Toshiba Satellite L300 (£399) features Intel processors, a SuperMulti DVD drive and WiFi wireless technology - the ultimate stylish and speedy combination.

Student bedrooms are often small so the multi-purpose and space-saving gadgets available at M&S are ideal for making the best use of compact spaces. The funky M&S own brand LCD Television Range (from £229-£349) features integrated digital tuners and DVD players in a wide range of colours including Pink, Blue and Ruby Red.
