AMAZON ECHO SHOW 5
An Amazon Echo can be invaluable to a student – it kind of works as a surrogate parent. The Show 5 is especially handy as it comes with a 5.5in screen built in, so if you need help cooking something it’ll take you through the process step by step. The speakers are small but still do a decent job of filling a room (or waking you up). And if you get really stuck, the camera makes it easier to call home for help.

D-LINK DCS-8000LH/B
When you’re a student there are two types of people you need to keep out of your room: thieves and pranking flatmates. For just £35, the DCS-8000LH/B will deter both.
