Do you have a surge protector?Not only are they great for protecting your electronics from random surges, they also help to increase the number of outlets in your dorm room. Do you have a carrying case?There are many different choices available for purchase. Backpacks with integrated laptop storage are always a popular choice.Do you have a Network Cord?If you live in a dorm you are going to need a network cord to connect to the internet. We recommend a cord of about 25 to 50 feet in length. The network jacks in your room will be together on one side of your room and you may want your computer on the other side.
