The Bose SoundLink Flex is an affordable portable speaker that can follow you from college parties to outdoor outings. It can last up to 12 hours on one charge, survives most dust and water adventures with its IP67 rating, and weighs only slightly more than 1 pound. All that, on top of its expressive sound, makes it an ideal choice for anyone looking for a reliable speaker that doesn't want to shell out for the premium option.

Looking for a new monitor? Amazon's back-to-school sale has this HP 27h Full HD monitor for $132.99 - the lowest price we've ever seen. The 27-inch diagonal monitor comes with a 75Hz refresh rate and a 100mm height/tilt capability, so you can position it for your studying needs.

You get superb sound quality, top-tier noise cancellation, excellent spatial audio, auto-switching between different Apple devices, and an unlosable case.
Beats Studio Pro: was $349.95 now $179.95 at Amazon
This saving makes the newest over-ears from Beats 49% off compared to their launch price. They're gorgeous looking, easy to use, and the sound is good (read about it in our Beats Studio Pro review), so if the lack of multipoint pairing (they do auto-switch with Apple devices, though) and wearer detection doesn't bother you, this is a very solid deal.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite: was $329.99 now $209.99 at Amazon
An impressive $120 saving brings the mid-range Samsung tablet down to its cheapest price ever. It's an ideal slate if you don't want to pay for one of the more premium options from Samsung or Apple but still want a powerful tablet for browsing, streaming, doodling, and gaming.
Acer Aspire 3: was $379.99 now $299.99 at Amazon
If you want a cheap Windows laptop, then Amazon has this Acer Aspire 3 on sale for under $300. With an AMD Ryzen processor and 8GB of RAM, it offers an acceptable level of performance for everyday use, basic work tasks, and video calls. The 128GB SSD is small but that's enough space for your most important files and applications. Modern Wi-Fi 6 tech for a reliable wireless connection and 8.5 hours of battery life round out this solid portable machine for the price.
Apple iPad 10.9 (2022): was $349 now $299 at Amazon
Looking for a cheap but still capable everyday tablet? Apple recently slashed the recommended starting price of the iPad 10.9 to $349 earlier this month, but Amazon has now dropped it even further to a new record low. It's great value for money at this price if you need an all-around tablet. We said Apple's latest base-level tablet is a big upgrade over the previous generation model in our iPad 10.9 review, with a larger Liquid Retina display, a new A14 Bionic chip, improved cameras, USB-C support, and a sleek design.
Lenovo IdeaPad 3i: was $599 now $338 at Amazon
It might be showing its age a little now with its 11th-gen Intel CPU, but at almost half price, this IdeaPad 3i is still a pretty darn good deal for anyone hunting for a budget laptop for the new school year. With an HD touchscreen and 12GB of RAM, it's a solid choice of affordable work laptop - just don't expect to be playing the latest games on it.
MacBook Air M2 (2022): was $999 now $799 at Amazon
Amazon's back-to-school sale has the MacBook Air M2 for a record-low price of $799. Even though a newer M3 version is available, we concluded that this is still one of the best laptops you can buy in our MacBook Air M2 review, thanks to the stylish design, clear display, impressive performance, and long 18-hour battery life. For students needing a premium powerhouse for creative apps such as photo editing, video editing, and more intense workloads, this is worth the extra investment.
