If you're looking for a PC back to school deal and you want an excellent crop of laptops and desktop PC to choose from, these Back to School deals and early Labor Day deals are top-tier. We've surveyed all of the best laptops, the best gaming laptops, and the best gaming PCs, and there are plenty of picks depending on your needs and budget.

Here are some of my favorites: this Dell Inspiron 16 Plus is currently on sale for $799 on Amazon, the MSI Thin 15 is on sale right now for $759.99 on Amazon, and the Asus ROG G13CH (2024) is on sale for $1,049.99 on Amazon. All three come with high-quality processors, and the gaming machines are equipped with RTX 4000-series graphics cards. 

All three also feature 16GB of RAM, and you'll get 1TB of storage on the Dell and Asus. The downside of the MSI Thin 15 laptop, however, is that it comes with 512GB of storage, so you'll need an external hard drive for heavy-duty PC game downloads.

These are the lowest prices I've ever seen for all three of these PCs. If you've been eyeing a brand new PC, whether a productivity laptop or gaming desktop, these deals are ideal.
