I always try to find a unique backpack for back to school, and these two Pix Backpacks are about as techie as you can get.
Use your mobile device to write, draw and even play games like Tetris right on your backpack. The flexible, water-repellent fabric makes it resistant to water splashes and major physical impact. Use your own power pack that has a 2A output, one is not included. A 10,000 mAh powerpack is enough to power the Pix Backpack for 5-6 hours of nonstop usage. There are two versions. The bigger one is just called the Pix LED Digital Backpack. It has more features and more room than the new Mini-Pix backpack. It is available in black or gray with a MSRP of $199.00
Like it’s big brother, the Pix-Mini also allows an integrated in-app
image editor let kids create animations and display them on the ambient screen of the backpack. Plus, the company says the Pix Mini app offers brain-stimulating games designed to test memory and cognitive capabilities. Now the Pix Mini was supposed to be ready in time for ‘back to school’ delivery, but Convid-19 put it off for a month or so. Delivery now is expected to be next month (September), and right now it’s priced at $99 if preordered on the company website. I don’t know how long the $99 price will be in effect. Full MSRP is $159.00. IMPORTANT NOTE: Use your own power pack that has a 2A output, one is not included with either backpack, the Pix-Mini, or Pix original. The company says a 10,000 mAh powerpack is enough to power the Pix Backpack for 5-6 hours of nonstop usage.
