The school year is sneaking up on us and, believe me, you don’t want to be caught under-geared when the first day of class hits.
Whether you’re a wide-eyed freshman who’s entering college for the first time or you’re a seasoned student who has one final year to knock out, you’re going to need a solid laptop that offers reliable performance and long battery life. That’s just the facts.
That’s why Samsung’s current back-to-school sale is worth checking out. I’ve hand-selected the best Samsung laptop deals going on so you can save up to 30 percent on a laptop that fits your needs.

The Samsung Galaxy Book4 is a well-rounded laptop and a great option for most people. It comes loaded with an Intel Core 7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage — zippy enough for work, assignments, surfing the web, sending last-minute emails to your professor, and more.
The Galaxy Book4 also has a number of positive reviews on Samsung’s website. Buyers claim this laptop runs fast and the huge display makes “entertainment and gaming a lot of fun.”

The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge offers a lightweight form factor, a beautiful touchscreen display, and a super power-efficient Snapdragon X Elite processor.
When PCWorld reviewed a slightly different configuration of this laptop, we were floored by the 21+ hour battery life. We expect this model that’s on sale to have similar battery life results, which is why I feel it’s a fantastic option for anyone who travels often.
The Galaxy Book4 Edge also weighs just 2.62 pounds, which is so light it may float up into the clouds if you aren’t careful. Other cool features include a 14-inch AMOLED touchscreen display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 512GB of SSD storage, and two USB 4.0 ports.
