Frequently asked questions
-
Find the right laptop for high school, college, or post-grad study at PC deals. You’ll find back-to-school savings on laptops from your favorite brands, including Acer, ASUS, HP, and more–all loaded with Windows 10 or Windows 11.
-
Whether you get a laptop or tablet for college depends on your major, the activities you will do with the device, and how much power you need for tasks. For simple word processing, many online classes and casual internet browsing, tablets are perfect. Laptops, on the other hand, tend to offer more power for resource-heavy processes, like photo and video editing or particular programming languages. To get the best of both worlds, consider a 2-in-1 device like Microsoft Surface.
-
The types of tech accessories you need for the school year will depend upon which devices you own. If the device you are outfitting is a tablet, a keyboard can help you comfortably type while on the go. Tech accessories like headphones or Wi-Fi routers can help you focus during study sessions and stay connected. The back-to-school season is a great time to stock up on accessories as deals on tech accessories for laptop, tablets, and desktop computers are available right now. Another great place to shop is PC accessories – here you’ll find even more monitors, cables, adapters, and devices certified for Teams.
