Summer vacation is nearing an end, which means it's time to start checking a few items off that back-to-school shopping list. Fortunately, Best Buy has wasted no time in dropping a bounty of deals with students in mind.

For a limited time, the retailer is slashing prices on laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other useful tech, and I've gathered a selection of my favorite discounts from the sale below. 

I'm talking about back-to-school deals like $220 off the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, or this offer that drops the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) to as low as $149.99 with activation. Of course, there are plenty of other deals where those came from, so keep reading for a list of my favorites.
