School supplies, made easy

The success of your students starts with the right supplies. Whether you’re a parent or caregiver with one or more kids in school, or a teacher responsible for an entire classroom, Staples is a one-stop shop for all the school supplies you need. From writing supplies and paper to school tech and furniture, we have everything on your back-to-school list.

Shop by grade

Staples makes it easy to get exactly what your students need by organizing all the essentials by grade. Shop for preschool supplies like learning toys and rest mats, or elementary school supplies for everything your kids need from kindergarten through 5th grade. Our selection of middle school supplies includes more advanced items like planners and scientific calculators, and you can find everything you need for high school in our high school supplies section. Getting ready for college? From dorm essentials to laptops, get everything you need from our selection of college supplies.

All the essentials for school

Whether you want to shop by subject or are looking for furniture and supplies for learning at home, we’ve got the right selection. Browse classroom essentials including cleaning supplies, storage, classroom décor, snacks, and teacher supplies. For everything from school art supplies to calculators, binders, school backpacks, lunch boxes and more, we’ve got what your students need to succeed.

Take a seat

Whether you’re working from home or outfitting a space for gaming, your comfort is dependent on finding the best chair. At Staples, we provide a broad range of office chairs and seating, so you can find the right fit for you. Select from multifunctional task chairs, computer & desk chairs, drafting stools and more. If you will be using your new chair for multiple hours a day, make sure to get an ergonomic office chair to prevent unnecessary strain.

Comfort, all day long

Office furniture that is the proper size and height makes a big difference. When shopping for chairs, the height of the seat should be adjustable so that the user’s feet can sit flat on the floor with their knees at right angles. Likewise, the accompanying office desk should be at a height where the users’ elbows can sit comfortably at right angles at their sides while typing or writing. Browse our selection to find the combination that’s right for you. If size if a concern, check out our big & tall chairs which can support up to 500lbs.

Game on

If you’re a gamer, you know that a single gaming session can last all day or night. For the best and most comfortable gaming setup, Staples has gaming chairs in colors and styles for everyone. Make sure to match your new chair to an ergonomic gaming desk, the perfect complement for the high-tech gaming computer and accessories you’ve invested in.

Show seasonal allergies who’s boss

If you suffer from seasonal allergies, now is when they are at their worst. Stock up on allergy season’s most important products to keep your home, classroom, and office allergen-free. Start with an air purifier to strip the air of allergens like pollen and pet dander and replace existing air filters for improved air quality. Frequently dust, wipe down hard surfaces, and vacuum carpets and furniture to help eliminate pollen tracked in from outside and dander left behind by pets. When leaving the house, check the pollen count and bring a face mask to help filter the air you breath outside.

No matter what you do, it’s unlikely that the symptoms of seasonal allergies can be avoided entirely. Make sure to have over-the-counter cold and allergy medications on hand to battle symptoms, and stock up on facial tissues so you’ll always have one available when you need them.

Spring (Cleaning) is in the air

Spring cleaning and decluttering is a tradition meant to refresh our spaces for the year ahead. Staples has everything you need to clear out the clutter, store and organize your belongings, and all the right cleaning supplies.

Clear out the clutter

Start by preparing a checklist and make sure you have all the necessary supplies. Use storage bins and a label maker to make sorting and organizing easier. Prepare extra boxes for donations and trash bags for the things you no longer need. Look for decorative boxes & baskets that will compliment your home’s décor and use them to organize. You can also use closet organizers and storage drawers anywhere they are needed.

Start with the basics

An all-purpose cleaner, cleaning brush and microfiber cloths will clean most surfaces. Use a duster to remove unwanted dirt and furniture polish to revitalize wood surfaces. Upgrade your broom, dustpan, wet mop, and vacuum to make cleaning any type of flooring a breeze.

The nitty gritty

Spring cleaning doesn’t stop there. There’s so much you can do to reset your home:

  • Improve air quality and eliminate pollen and pet dander with a new air purifier and an air freshener with a scent you love.
  • On a sunny day, take the opportunity to clean your windows – you’ll need glass cleaner, a bucket, a squeegee, and paper towels.
  • Have a step stool or ladder on hand to access hard-to-reach places like the tops of cabinets and overhead lighting.
  • Replace broken light bulbs and check the batteries in your smoke detectors.
  • Use drain cleaner to clear up sink and bathtub drains.

Rest assured it arrives safely & securely

Whether you are sending business documents or customer products, shipping and mailroom supplies from Staples make the process seamless.

Keep packing supplies ready for easy shipping. Padded envelopes and bubble mailers are perfect for shipping small, non-fragile items. Pack larger items in shipping boxes that are slightly larger than the item, and use packing peanuts, bubble roll, or other packing materials to keep objects from moving in the box during transport. Choose the right packing tape to ensure your packages will stay sealed. Staples carries clear acrylic packing tape for everyday shipping and reinforced or water activated tape for packages that require a heavier duty seal.

Manage the day-to-day office correspondence smoothly with a wide selection of business envelopes, inter-office envelopes, and catalog envelopes in the mailroom. Have finger pads and envelope moisteners on hand for speedy document collation and a quick seal. Choose security envelopes for confidential office correspondence and inter-office communications.

Ivanenkov Roman

I can not call this service good …. This is too pale a word. Service on Domodedovo – SUPER DELICIOUS!!! Master Igor is simply a magician and wizard! Clearly, literally in a minute made an assumption about the malfunction. Focused on price. I did not have time to get home, after putting the phone in for repair, as I received a message about the successful completion of the repair. The cause of the malfunction and the cost of the repair were fully consistent with those declared at the time of delivery for repair. I am not a young enthusiastic girl, moreover, I myself am a serviceman in another area, I can objectively assess the quality of services. I am delighted. Separate respect and respect to Igor. The man knows his business.

Alina Satyukova

The first thing I want to say is – thank you for the prompt resolution of my issue and for the desire of the guys to help as much as possible. Repaired my favorite Samsung. I was walking from a nearby bar in the morning and broke my phone. She raised her head in tears and saw a Pedant.ru sign across the road. In the afternoon I was already there and the next day I took my phone as new. There were different options for the price / quality of the display, but the guys advised exactly the original – that is, exactly the same as what I had. It also seems to me that the manager liked me and he made me some kind of display protection as a gift – it is practically invisible, but after that, my daughter dropped the phone, I picked it up with bated breath and the display turned out to be alive. \

VM

The speaker on the phone began to work poorly, I can hear someone well during a conversation, some are simply disgusting. I thought about changing my phone, but I went to your center on Novoslobodskaya. In 2 minutes they cleaned the speaker and everything was fine. Was very pleasantly surprised. Thank you! Keep it up!

Olga

The phone was fixed quickly at a low cost. Very satisfied, thank you very much.

Viktor Petrovich

I express my deep gratitude to the Service! And, personally, master Alexei! Worked great and solved my problem! Thank you! Repaired two Samsung smartphones.

Many thanks to the service at Novoslobodskaya metro station! Applied on 04/24/2022. Everything is made for you! Honest, fast, high quality with a guarantee!

Olga

Thank you very much for excellent service. Satisfied with the repair. Everything is prompt and friendly.

Anastasia

Thank you very much service center. Convenient work schedule. You can sign up through social networks. They give a guarantee, which is the most important thing when repairing a phone. The phone broke down, the master arrived at the appointed time and place. He assessed the damage and took all measures to eliminate the cause of the failure. The owner is polite and apparently knowledgeable. The time of his work took no more than 20 minutes.

Irek

I turned today with a banal problem for a specialist, which I am not) The reaction to the appeal is instant, so to speak, “giving up everything.”
Received my smartphone back serviceable in just 5 minutes.
Master in one word! Thank you.
I recommend, credit!

Evgenia

Good afternoon I recommend the service on Mayakovskaya. Professional, responsive and caring employees who are ready to help the “blonde with a smartphone”. They set up, updated and explained in detail what’s what, for which they deserve a big human thanks!

Alexander

Great service, courteous and efficient staff. No complaints, everything is great.

Artem

After the fall, the phone started to turn off constantly, I came to this service, the specialist quickly found the problem, did everything quickly and efficiently, for which I am very grateful to him.

Alice

I want to express my gratitude to the employee Timofey for the high-quality and fast work. Good customers to you!

Timur

Good afternoon Thank you very much for the fast and high-quality work on replacing the display on the iphone and the protective glass as a gift, it’s very nice, now my phone is like new.

Igor

Many thanks to Rostislav for the quickly completed work, for honesty and quality. We did not expect that everything would be done so quickly and they would not even take the money.

Larisa

The service is really good, help is timely, good service, everything was explained and told, a small minus that they do not fit into the declared 90 minutes, but still they did everything at the highest level. I will definitely use again and recommend to everyone. The prices justify themselves and the efforts of the staff. Everything is quite popular and accessible.

Svetlana

in just a few minutes again came to life in my phone!!!!
thank you, young man! You are very attentive and sensible in your business!!!
I recommend in the Arena shopping center !!!!

Alexey

Good day everyone! Back in winter, I turned to this service with a serious problem of my then new Xiaomi Redmi-8 (six months from the date of purchase). The screen was buggy in my mobile, and in such a way that some operations were performed on their own and could not be controlled. There were even cases when, having entered the Sberbank Online application, a transfer could be automatically made. Typing any text in SMS became impossible: it turned out some kind of ABRACADABRA … In short, the phone began to create problems for me in everything. And I had to turn to specialists. I found the address on the internet. From a detailed conversation with the master, I immediately realized that nothing would be imposed on me here, so I trusted him. I was offered several options for solving the problem with a detailed description of the costs (the prices were the same as on the website). I chose to replace the screen… And I didn’t regret it! The very next day when everything was done. my problems disappeared as if they never existed… RESPECT and RESPECT!!! I recommend!

Maxim

Fortunately, I rarely use smartphone repair services, but …. everything happens for the first time. And the first positive experience in this business is very important. The first time I came with the fact that the phone was not charging from charging. In 2 minutes!!! the master cleaned the connector on the phone and did not charge a penny for it. shock. On the radio market, they would probably say that you got a guy – there is a lot of work with the replacement of a half-phone. Therefore, the choice of the center for the second time (drowned an iPhone in the pool) was obvious, although driving from Odintsovo to the center of Moscow is still a pleasure. And everything is great again. And it’s not just the cost of an old iPhone, but the fact that I really don’t like the process of transferring data to a new one. In general, quickly, efficiently and at a reasonable price. And many thanks to Lydia Konovalova for constantly keeping me informed about the stages of the repair. It’s so nice when such nice people help you solve your temporary life troubles.
So far everything is fine with the phone. I hope for a long time. Thanks guys.

Andrew

Good afternoon Once again I turned to your service center and was once again satisfied. Parts are always in stock, repairs take a minimum of time, you will not have time to drink coffee before everything is ready. Great artists, thank you! I advise everyone!

Very polite staff, everything is fast and efficient, I was satisfied with the services provided

Karim

I really liked the quality of service in this service center. In a couple of minutes they fixed the problem with charging the phone, free of charge, politely and efficiently. I recommend this center.

Anastasia

Came in to replace the charging port. The young man looked and just cleaned it. It took less than 5 minutes. They didn’t take the money. Highly recommended

Kira

I broke my phone badly, before going to the salon I consulted on the phone about prices and opening hours, I really liked the chat, politeness and quick response to any questions. The repair itself took less than the promised time. On the website and in the salon it is written that as a gift a free protective glass, unfortunately, the glass was not delivered to me, because it was not available, but they made cleaning the phone a bonus. Most of all, I was surprised by the papers that I signed, in the previous salon, in which I had already repaired another phone, there were no guarantees and contracts, I really liked the responsibility of the salon!
The prices are average but the quality of the work is amazing!
I can safely recommend this salon0003
Ivan

I addressed a problem on the iPhone 7, the phone did not charge, everything was explained and told on the spot, a very competent employee Alexander, answered all questions, offered alternative options, did his job efficiently and quickly, I will definitely contact you again

Denis

We contacted the service on Alekseevskaya repeatedly, always quickly, efficiently, kindly. Recommend to everyone

Killer MacBook Pro and 4 more interesting laptops ASUS / Laptops and PCs

One of the leaders in the laptop market, as expected, showed a whole bunch of mobile computers at the exhibition. Among the new products, there was a place for both working “horses” – devices that will serve faithfully every day, and laptops, which can be characterized very simply: no one has such technologies (yet). I will tell you about all these devices further.

⇡ # ASUS gaming models – ROG Strix SCAR II and Hero II

At the very beginning of 2018, a review of the ROG Strix GL503VD model was published on our website. Even before the release of the Coffee Lake generation processors, ASUS updated the ROG Strix GL500 series, installing well-known components in a new case. At the same time, ASUS introduced the Hero Edition, aimed at MOBA players, and the SCAR Edition, suitable for fans of first-person shooters. All three models are quite easy to distinguish from each other externally, each of them has its own unique features. Computex also showed updated versions of laptops related to these series.

The SCAR II and Hero II are very similar in appearance. Last year, a review of the ROG ZEPHYRUS (GX501) model was published on our website. Apparently, ASUS designers and engineers liked their brainchild so much that they decided to use a similar design in other ROG laptops. The display cover is made of metal, all other elements are made of high-quality plastic. ROG Strix GL503VD has noticeable bezels around the edges of the screen. In SCAR II and Hero II, they have become much smaller – as a result, with the same diagonal of 15.6 ”, the device has already become 2.33 cm.

In general, the screen is one of the advantages of both the SCAR and Hero versions. These laptops use IPS-matrix with a refresh rate of 144 Hz and a response of 3 ms. In both cases, an anti-reflective coating is used.

The keyboards of both models support HyperStrike Pro technology, which includes a number of interesting features. So, the keys have a recess of 0.25 mm and a stroke of 1.8 mm. At the same time, the life cycle of each button can reach 20 million clicks. The RGB lighting is divided into four zones, and the QWER (for Hero II) and WASD (for SCAR II) blocks are additionally highlighted in white. There is support for AURA Sync technology – for example, the backlight of a laptop can be synchronized with the backlight of a headset and / or mouse. The layout of the Hero II and SCAR II has not changed compared to the first generation laptops. Only new laptops now use a push-button touchpad.

The set of interfaces in the new models is fully consistent with what we saw in the ROG Strix GL503VD.

Testing showed that the ROG Strix GL503VD did a good job of cooling the Core i7-7700HQ and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti in games. However, new laptops will receive modifications with a 4-core Core i5-8300H and a 6-core Core i7-8750H. Naturally, these chips require better cooling. According to the company’s slides, the number of heat pipes has been increased from two to three. At the same time, Hero II and SCAR II received new fans with an increased number of blades. All this made it possible to increase the speed of rotation of the impellers by 20% without a serious increase in the noise level. Therefore, new laptops should have no problems with cooling the Core i7-8750H. However, for sure, these models will get to our test laboratory – then we will check everything.

Please note that the Hero II version comes with discrete graphics up to the level of the GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB. Among the SCAR II models, you can also find variants with a mobile version of the GeForce GTX 1070. Both laptops can be equipped with up to 32 GB of DDR4-2666 RAM. Also on sale you will find mobile PC configurations with different drives: from 1TB SSHD to 512GB NVMe SSD.

⇡#ZenBook S

The Hero II and SCAR II series laptops were shown on Computex 2018 Day Zero, along with the rest of the ROG series. Mobile PCs of the ZenBook series were shown a day later.

The ZenBook S version (UX391) is, so to speak, a typical 2018 ultrabook. The model received an all-metal body with a thickness of only 12.9 mm. The display size is standard 13.3 ”, and the weight is only 1 kg. One of the main features of the device is the unique design of the ErgoLift hinges – when the lid is opened (the maximum angle is 145 degrees), the keyboard is slightly tilted – 5.5 degrees. So, according to the Taiwanese, it is more comfortable to type text. In addition, the gap between the bottom of the laptop and the table allows the cooling system to work more efficiently.

Naturally, the ZenBook S is based on Kaby Lake Refresh processors. Modifications based on the Core i5-8250U and Core i7-8550U models will appear on sale. The 3DNews laboratory has already tested a large number of models with such CPUs, so we can say with confidence that the performance level will largely depend on the efficient operation of the cooling system. For example, in the ASUS FX570UD model, the Core i7-8550U processor operates at a frequency of 2.1 GHz under serious load, while in the Acer Swift 5 model, the same CPU operates at a frequency of only 1.1 GHz under the same conditions – a noticeable difference in performance, agree . Therefore, in terms of performance, a lot of the ZenBook S will depend on the quality of the cooling and the conditions in which the laptop is used.

According to the manufacturer, the ZenBook S uses “innovative polymer liquid crystal cooling.” What it is all about is a mystery, but I want to believe that the Zenbook cooler will cope with the task. In addition, the CO design uses a tangential-type fan with 71 blades – it has 40% more blades than previous generation laptop fans. The manufacturer gives the following figures: the airflow of the new ZenBook S increased by 13.4%, and the heating decreased by 5 degrees Celsius.

The remaining characteristics of the S-series are quite typical for this class of devices. There will be models with 8 and 16 GB of RAM. As a permanent storage, only SSD with a maximum capacity of up to 1 TB is used.

Available with Full HD and 4K screens. According to ASUS, the color gamut of the UHD panel is 72% NTSC. The bezel width is 5.9 mm, which, according to the manufacturer, “gives an amazing 85% screen-to-body ratio.” In my opinion, the frames of the ZenBook S are ordinary, but everything in this world is known in comparison. There is, for example, the Dell XPS 13 model, which is generally called frameless.

The specifications of the battery used in the ZenBook S are unknown, but the manufacturer claims 13.5 hours of battery life. At the same time, fast charging technology allows you to charge the battery from 0 to 60% in just 50 minutes.

Interfaces include three USB 3.1 Type-C ports (two compatible with the Intel Thunderbolt 3 standard), as well as a 3.5 mm jack – a fairly typical set of interfaces if you compare ZenBook S with HP Specter 13 and the same Dell XPS 13 The novelty ASUS will hit the market next week at a price of 1,200 US dollars. The device is available in Deep Blue and Rose Gold colors.

⇡#ZenBook Pro

Undoubtedly, the main laptop event of Computex 2018 was the presentation of ZenBook Pro models: 14-inch UX480 and 15-inch UX580. ASUS described the new items as solutions for designers and artists. One of my colleagues quite accurately noticed: in front of you are laptops with a “civilian” appearance, but with flagship hardware – and such devices are in great demand among the population.

ZenBook PRO UX480

The 14- and 15-inch models are quite different from each other. The UX480 version, for example, is also equipped with ErgoLift hinges. This laptop will get GeForce GTX 1050 graphics in Max-Q design and Kaby Lake Refresh quad-core processors.

ZenBook PRO UX580

But the most interesting, in my opinion, is the UX580 model. And here’s why: the laptop uses a Core i9-8950HK processor – this is the most productive 6-core laptop chip to date. Let me remind you that it is equipped with an unlocked multiplier, and its frequency varies in the range from 2. 8 to 4.8 GHz depending on the type of load. At the same time, the Core i9-8950HK has 12 MB of L3 cache. The same Core i7-8750H has 3 MB less L3 cache.

Using the Core i9-8950HK in this notebook (ZenBook Pro UX580 is only 19mm thick and weighs 1.8kg) is a real challenge. The chip is very powerful and very hot. In our review of the MSI GE73 Raider RGB 8RF model, we were convinced that even the 6-core Core i7-8750H needs very high-quality cooling so that this processor can operate at least at the nominal frequency of 2.2 GHz when performing complex tasks. I would like to believe that ASUS engineers have found a solution how to cool a 45-watt processor in a 19-mm case, and not just “shove the unimpressible” for the sake of show “our laptop uses the coolest processor”. Unfortunately, there are no details about the CO used in the ZenBook Pro.

The most interesting thing is that the mobile version of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is used together with the Core i9-8950HK – there are plenty of reviews of laptops with such graphics on our website. ASUS says that the GP107 chip is needed for some tasks that are well optimized for NVIDIA GPUs. In fact, on the ZenBook Pro UX580, you can play modern games mainly with high graphics quality settings in Full HD resolution.

As for the rest of the components, the 580th model will receive 16 GB of DDR4-2400 RAM and NVMe SSD up to 1 TB.

Unfortunately, there is no information about how long the laptop can operate from the built-in battery. Still, the ZenBook Pro is a light and compact model, so I want it to last as long as possible without recharging, at least in web surfing mode.

ZenBook Pro UX580 also features a glossy 4K IPS panel with touch input. The ZenBook UX480, which will be officially released a little later, uses an FHD monitor. So, the screen is PANTONE certified. Its color gamut corresponds to 100% of the AdobeRGB standard.

Strictly speaking, a top-end processor and an excellent screen – these are the attributes that are attributed to the “killers” of the Apple MacBook Pro. However, the ZenBook Pro UX580 has another very interesting detail.

I am sure that many of you have already noticed the presence of an additional screen instead of the classic touchpad. This ZenBook PRO control is called SreenPad – yes, it has a Super IPS + matrix with a diagonal of 5.5 ″ with Full HD resolution. It is this screen that allows you to significantly increase the functionality of the laptop.

With ScreenPad, you can do a variety of things: run a calculator, control a media player, just use it as a separate monitor. For those who work with content, an additional screen can really come in handy. For example, it would be convenient for me to work with text by opening two files at once. Or, you can display the original photo on ScreenPad, and on the main screen, perform all the actions for processing it in Photoshop.

Finally, a smartphone can be connected to the notebook. And then all notifications will be displayed on ScreenPad. Naturally, the additional screen can be turned off and used as a regular touchpad.

The ZenBook Pro UX580 will be available very soon. The cost of a laptop with a Core i9-8950HK on board is serious – from $ 2,300.

⇡#Project Precog

And at the presentation, ASUS showed the concept of a unique Project Precog laptop. The wow effect in this solution is created by the absence of a keyboard as such – instead of it, the device uses a second full-fledged screen.

If you could feel other novelties of the Taiwanese company, then several Project Precog samples were behind the fence, so this device can only be judged from the words of ASUS representatives. So, the prototype can work in several modes: as a regular laptop, as a tablet, as an awning, and as two monitors. The concept is equipped with various sensors, so the device itself recognizes in which mode they want to use it. For example, in laptop mode, a virtual touchpad and keyboard immediately appear on the second screen.
