Microsoft's Surface laptops are on sale and students can score big savings before going back to school - but these devices are selling fast

Right now, if you're a student (or the parent of one), you're probably focused on making sure you (or they) start the academic year on the right foot, with everything needed to be successful in the coming terms.

One of the most important and useful tools a student can have is a PC, and if you're looking for a new laptop, Microsoft has discounted some of the most popular Surface devices on sale via its online store.

Today, I have three Surface laptop deals and a Surface Pro Copilot+ PC tablet deal. The latter is actually a 2-in-1 hybrid - a tablet that comes with a detachable keyboard - but I should note that it is at the pricier end for Surface Pro devices. If you're interested in a more affordable Surface Pro deal, you can peruse our top picks here.

Speaking of pricey, I should also make it clear that the Surface Laptop Studio 2 is pretty expensive as it's intended for more resource-intensive activities such as professional-grade (or near to it) video editing or image editing.

The other two deals from Microsoft's website that I've covered are much more affordable: there's the Surface Laptop Go 3 on sale for £699 (that's a £140 discount), and the Surface Laptop 5 is £1,015 (after a £254 discount). As for the Surface Pro Copilot+ PC, that's on offer at £1,220.98 (with an £87.80 discount), and finally, the Surface Laptop Studio 2 is reduced to £1,889 (after a £320 discount). 

We've checked these prices against Amazon and Currys, and they are the best prices you can get for each of these Surface models (at the time of writing). 

These price reductions are part of Microsoft's current back-to-school deals, so they will disappear relatively soon, meaning that if you want to take advantage of one of these offers, you're best off acting sharpish to avoid potential disappointment. Indeed, the Surface Laptop 5 deal is almost gone now - there's only one model left (in one color) that you can buy.

Today's best Surface deals

If Microsoft's Surface devices aren't your bag, there are, of course, a whole lot of other notebooks out there - and right now, there are plenty of deals to be had across many of these portables.

We have a dedicated roundup of all the best back-to-school sales, and this lists not just the most tempting laptop deals, but our experts' picks across all kinds of tech products when it comes to bargains for students.
