Whether preparing for in-person classes or continuing remote sessions, we’ve pulled together some of the best deals on school supplies, dorm decorations, clothing and updated equipment, such as laptops and tablets.

Back to School tech: Laptops, tablets, more

If you’re in need of a new laptop, tablet or phone, there are many sites offering deep discounts on the latest tech. Here are some of the best deals:

Samsung: While Samsung has some of the most updated tech on the market, the company still has deals for students this school year. You can save 15% on the Galaxy Book Pro for a limited time, thanks to the back to school sale.

Dell: Discounts on Dell products are available to college and high school students.

Lenovo: Until Sunday, Aug. 22, Lenovo shoppers can save an extra 10 percent on workstation needs.

Best Buy: While there are everyday deals on Best Buy’s site, there are exclusive savings for students on laptops, desktop and headphones.
