Asus X556 laptop - $80 off
Need a new laptop that's ready for just about everything? This Asus X556 laptop is just that. With a 7th-gen Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM, it's ready to work. A 512GB SSD is plenty of storage for most people who aren't hording movies and music on their device and will ensure it boots up and launches programs quickly. A 15.6-inch Full HD display will work for entertainment, and the Nvidia GeForce 940mx even enables some modest gaming. At $669, it's not a bad price for an all-purpose device.
Lenovo IdeaPad 310 laptop - $150 off
For a little less, the Lenovo IdeaPad 310 is a good choice. It comes in at $549 right now, but has a 7th-gen Core i7 processor and 12GB of RAM, plus a 1TB hard drive for serious storage. It does make a small sacrifice on its screen, coming in at only 1366x768, and gaming can only be powered by Intel HD Graphics 620, but it has a great price for a no-nonsense machine ready to get schoolwork done.
Asus Zenbook UX303 laptop - $200 off
The Asus Zenbook UX303 is more of a premium package. This laptop comes with a 13.3-inch display at a whopping 3200x1800 resolution for a sharp image. It has solid internals as well, with a 6th-gen Core i7 processor, 12GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and an Nvidia Geforce 940m GPU. What makes it a serious pick is that all that hardware come in a highly portable 3.2-pound package, and right now it's only $1,099.
CyberpowerPC Panzer VR Pro gaming desktop - $250 off
If you can sacrifice portability for the sake of power, this gaming desktop from CyberpowerPC is a beast and comes at a decent price for what it's packing. After the $250 discount, it's $1,449, but that includes a powerful Intel Core i7 7700K with 16GB of fast DDR4 RAM; a 2TB hard drive with a 120GB SSD to boot; and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 for serious gaming or even virtual reality. This is a beastly rig, but if you need to have some fun after class or do video editing for school, it's a good choice at a fair price.
LG 34UM59-P 34-inch FreeSync gaming monitor - $100 off
If you have a desktop computer, you'll need a screen to go with it. And even if you have a laptop, sometimes it's nice to watch shows and movies on a bigger screen. Enter the LG 34UM59-P, an impressively wide 34-inch monitor with a 75hz refresh rate at 2560x1080. At $299, it's a good pick for both gamers and cinephiles.
