Retailers are making it easy to find the right tech to fit your needs and your budget. Back-to-school discounts and sitewide sales are at every corner this week as students prepare for college. Just like students and parents, teachers are also eligible for direct manufacturer education discounts on laptops, tablets and PC accessories. For example, Apple’s Education Store (opens in new tab) instantly knocks $100 off the M1 MacBook Air and new M2 MacBook Pro. And for a limited time is giving away free gift cards valued at up to $150 with your purchase of a MacBook or iPad. If you want to beat the back-to-school rush, it’s not too early to save. Here are the best back-to-school deals teachers can take advantage of now.
