It feels like summer break has only just started, but it’s time to prepare for the back-to-school season, and I’m here to help you find the best deals. Things have changed since I was in school, and floppy disks are no longer the standard format for storing a thesis, but I use enough tech to know which features matter most. I’m separating each of my finds into categories to make the browsing experience more straightforward, and I’m also dropping per-retailer store links for you to bookmark.

Frequently asked questions
When do back to school sales start?
They have already started. Retailers theme their discounts based on upcoming holidays or events, and back-to-school season is no exception. Thankfully, it means more relevant deals are already appearing on education-focused tech, and that’s what I’m rounding up here. However, there is no defined date for back-to-school sales.
It depends, but it’s always worth checking. If you have a valid email address, usually ending in .edu, you should check for student discount programs at any retailer before you check out.
