Looking for something feature-rich for serious studies? The HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 15.6-inch laptop is down from $1,629.99 to $1,529.99 with the Student Deals pricing applied at checkout. While we didn't review this exact model, which comes with a 4K UHD touchscreen, Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of memory, we did test the similar 14-inch HP Spectre x360 14t version ($1,199.99), and fell in love with the "luxurious laptop experience" it delivered.
If something more budget-oriented is what your scholar needs, the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha QLED 13.3-inch touchscreen laptop is marked down to $669.99 with the student discount, a $180 savings from its $849 list price. This 4.8-star-rated model has a touch screen that reviewers praised as "really quite spectacular." While we haven't tested it, our laptop experts said the specs are competitive for the price—especially on sale.
There are plenty of options to choose from if you're looking for the perfect Windows laptop to accompany you or your loved one to school this coming year—so grab these savings while you still can.
