As with every back-to-school season, you'll find no shortage of deals floating around the web right now. To commemorate the new school year, Amazon has slashed prices on all kinds of tech for grade-schoolers to college students alike. Check out some great deals for tech-savvy students below.

Echo Dot (4th Gen, 2020 release) | Smart speaker with Alexa - $39.99 (20% off)

The Echo Dot is a great way to experience all that Alexa has to offer. While not as loud or bass-y as the full-sized Echo, it's quite close, and more than makes up for the loss of decibels with the dip in price. The Echo Dot can do things like play your favorite study beats, read you the news of the day, give you the weather, add items to your Amazon cart so you don't forget to buy them later, and much, much more. If you've ever wondered what having an Echo around the house is like, this is a great way to dip your toe into the general Amazon ecosystem at a 20% discount.

Apple AirTag - $26.40 (9% off) Deal Ended

AirTags are a great, affordable tech accessory to help users keep track of things that might get easily misplaced during the hustle and bustle of college (or even high school) life. You can put one of these in your backpack, on your keychain, or anywhere else to help you track it down at a moment's notice. It features a one tap setup, and in addition to being able to zero in on an AirTag by checking out the map on your iPhone or tablet, you can also make it play a sound via a built-in speaker if you know it's in the room but are having trouble finding it. If you or your kid are always misplacing things, this might be the perfect solution.

HP Stream 14-inch Laptop - $205.00 (21% off)

Every student needs a laptop, right? Luckily, if it's going to be used mostly for internet research and word processing, you can find some super affordable options out there. This HP Stream has a 14-inch screen, Intel Celeron N4000 CPU, 4 GB of ram, 64 GB of storage and it comes with Office 365 Personal for a full year. Naturally, if you need to run CPU-intensive software like Photoshop or want a laptop that can be used for gaming, you'll need to dish out a bit more cash for something more capable, but for run-of-the-mill school assignments and web browsing this should give you everything you need and more.

Apple iPad 9.7inch w/ WiFi 32GB - Space Gray (2017 Model) (Renewed) - $134.14 (14% off)
