Back to school starts before September: three decisions to prepare family technology

ZAP Notícias31 August 2026 at 17:00

As the end of vacation approaches, many families begin preparing for back to school and evaluating whether the technological equipment used by children and young people still meets the demands of the new school year. iServices recommends three main decisions to prepare family technology before buying new devices.

Before investing in a new smartphone, tablet or computer, the recommendation is to start with a simple check of the equipment that already exists at home. This initial assessment can avoid hasty and unnecessary purchases at the start of the new school year.

Families should consider repairing existing equipment when problems are solvable, such as low battery life, damaged screens or charging difficulties. This option can represent a more economical and sustainable alternative.

Additionally, iServices suggests considering refurbished options as an alternative to new equipment and choosing only accessories that are truly necessary, thus avoiding additional expenses that may not be essential for the school year.
