The best back to school sale picks: 

Back to school sales: the top deals

Apple AirPods Pro: $249 $189.99 at Amazon
Save $59 - We've spotted the best-selling AirPods Pro in stock and on sale for $189.99 at Amazon. That's the best deal you can find right now and only $20 more than the record-low Black Friday price. As of right now, the wireless earbuds are currently in stock and ready to ship, so we recommend snapping up this new low price while you can.

HP 14-inch Chromebook: $279 $149 at Best Buy
Save $130 - We rarely see 14-inch Chromebooks at this $150 price point (usually you'll only find 11.6-inch displays this cheap, which is a little too small for school work). An Intel Celeron N4020 processor, 4GB RAM and 32GB of storage will all work well for taking notes (provided you're also using external or cloud storage) and are excellent specs for the money.

iPad Air 4 (64GB): $599 $499.99 at Amazon
Save $100 - Our favorite back to school deal, Amazon, has just dropped the iPad Air 4 to a record-low price of $499.99. That's $20 less than the previous all-time low price. Colors are selling out quickly, and as of right now, the Space Gray and Green colors are in stock and ready to ship.

Apple MacBook Air: $999.99 $849.99 at Amazon
Save $149 - Amazon has just dropped the M1 MacBook Air down to a new record-low price of $849.99 - $50 less than last week's price. The 13-inch laptop features Apple's powerful M1 chip, 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, and provides up to 15 hours of battery life.

Microsoft Surface Pro 7: $959 $699 at Best Buy
Save $260 - Best Buy has the versatile Surface Pro 7 on sale for $699, thanks to today's $260 discount. The powerful tablet features a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, includes a full keyboard experience, and provides up to 10 hours of battery life.

Apple: buy select Mac and iPad models and get free AirPods
 For a limited time, Apple is offering students and teachers free AirPods when you buy a select MacBook Pro or Air, iPad, iMac, or Mac Mini device. The AirPods with charging case currently retail for $159, so with this deal, you're getting a free pair of premium earbuds, plus Apple is also offering 20% off AppleCare Plus.

Keurig K-Slim Coffee Maker: $109.99 $69.99 at Amazon
Save $40 - Brew a cup of coffee in minutes with Keurig K-Slim that's on sale for $69.99 at Amazon - just $20 more than the record-low Black Friday price. Perfect for small spaces, the compact coffee maker can brew four cups at a time without refilling the 52-oz. reservoir and features three different sizes so you can make coffee that suits your tastes.

Lenovo 2-in-1 15.6-inch touchscreen Chromebook (C340): $499 $299 at Best Buy
Save $200 - This is our favorite Chromebook deal in Best Buy's current selection. For just $299 you're picking up an Intel i3 processor, 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage all in a full-sized 15.6-inch device with a fully convertible design and touchscreen. Those are specs and features that we rarely see at a sub-$300 price point.

Dell S2721HN 27-inch Monitor: $309.99 $229.99 at Dell
Save $80 - For a limited time, you can get the Dell S2721HN monitor on sale for only $229.99. That's an $80 discount and the best price we've found for the 27-inch HD display that features a wide 178°/178° viewing angle and a 75Hz refresh rate.

Save $419 - Want to do college work and game while you're at university? Here's a gaming laptop deal from Dell on G3 15, featuring a GTX 1660 Ti graphics card, Intel Core i5-10300H processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. These specs are absolutely great for the price, and this laptop's pretty inconspicuous looking too for a gaming machine - great for class. 

Apple Watch Series 6 (40mm): $399 $329.99 at Amazon
Save $69 - Amazon has the Apple Watch 6 on sale for a record-low price of $329.99. While we have seen this $329.99 cost a few times over the last few weeks, that price has been jumping back up to $349 every so often since June. That's the price you'll see on the Amazon product page, but you'll save an extra $19 at checkout right now.

Champion Manuscript backpack: $40 $23.99 at Amazon
Save $16 - A similar handy back to school savings can be found on this Champion backpack at Amazon. Like the Under Armor backpack above, this one's a fairly medium-sized pack that's just right for carrying both books and your laptop - which it accommodates with an internal sleeve.

Lenovo Chromebook S330 14-inch laptop: $239 $159 at Walmart
Save $80 - With 32GB of storage and 4GB RAM, you're still picking up a budget laptop here, but thanks to Chrome OS, those specs aren't as limiting as they would be on a Windows machine. Plus, the 14-inch display here is a vast improvement on the 11.6-inch devices we usually see in this price range.

Lenovo 2-in-1 15.6-inch touchscreen Chromebook (C340): $499 $299 at Best Buy
Save $200 - This is our favorite Chromebook deal in Best Buy's current selection.

HP 15.6-inch laptop: $747.50 $649.99 at HP
Save $100 - With $100 off the MSRP, you'll find an excellent $649.99 price tag on this powerful 11th generation i7 HP laptop deal this week. While the 256GB SSD is a little mid-range for this price tag, you're picking up a pricey CPU here and the sacrifice in storage is well worth it if you're after a zippy experience. Plus, there's 16GB RAM inside as well.

Dell G3 15 gaming laptop: $1,218.99 $799.99 at Dell
Save $419 - Want to do college work and game while you're at university?

iPad 8th generation (32GB): $329 $299 at Amazon
Save $30 - This is a well-worn iPad deal by now, as we've been seeing this $30 discount on the 8th generation entry-level model for months. However, this is still the cheapest this device has ever been, and we don't expect to see a lower price any time soon.

iPad Air 4 (64GB): $599 $499.99 at Amazon
Save $100 - Our favorite back to school deal, Amazon, has just dropped the iPad Air 4 to a record-low price of $499.99. That's $20 less than the previous all-time low price. Colors are selling out quickly, and as of right now, the Space Gray and Green colors are in stock and ready to ship.
