The most suitable laptops (thin and light) for back to school

SAPO Notícias30 August 2026 at 18:01

This article presents a selection of thin and light laptops recommended for students returning to school. The objective is to help students choose a suitable device for the new school year.

When selecting a laptop for academic use, the article highlights that two main factors need to be considered: the ease of transport of the equipment and battery life, essential characteristics for those who need to use the computer throughout the day.

The article includes five laptop proposals that meet these criteria of portability and efficiency. These suggestions are intended for students looking for practical devices to take to school or university.

The final recommendation is that students evaluate their specific needs before making their choice, taking into account not only the technical specifications, but also the comfort of transport in daily school life.

An iPhone protected by a RHINOSHIELD case was launched from the stratosphere at an altitude of 30,607 metres over Sweden, falling 30 kilometres to the ground without any damage. The feat, which took place in the Kiruna area and resulted in the phone's recovery on June 24, earned a Guinness World Records title as the highest fall of a phone protected by a case over natural terrain.

End of "eco-friendly" smartphones! European Union tightens the noose on tech giants

The European Union has defined that Directive 2024/825, which aims to regulate the sustainability of technological products, will come into force on September 27th. This directive imposes new rigorous rules on manufacturers of smartphones and other electronic devices, requiring greater durability, reparability, and reduction of environmental impact. Tech giants will have to adapt to these new requirements, which could represent the end of so-called "eco-friendly" smartphones that do not meet the new European standards.

Does your phone charger have this symbol? Almost no one knows what it really means

Many users are unaware of the meaning of the number inside a circle of arrows found on phone chargers. This symbol represents the Environment-Friendly Use Period (EFUP), an indication from Chinese standards that refers to the period during which dangerous substances in the equipment should not be released into the environment, not meaning a mandatory "expiration date". The article also warns that, although the charger doesn't technically expire, components such as cables and plugs can degrade over time, and it's important to check for signs of wear such as a burning smell, overheating or physical damage. Other common symbols are also explained, such as the house (indoor use), the crossed-out bin (mandatory recycling) and the square within another square (Class II equipment with double insulation).
