Past Savvy Spotlight Standouts

Acer Aspire 1 Laptop

While most of our deals are geared toward little learners, our spotlight goes to Acer’s best-selling value laptop, the Aspire 1. At 33% off at the time of writing, this little workhorse is exactly the type of laptop a kid would appreciate as their first learning machine. It’s powerful enough to tackle homework and comes with a year of Microsoft 365 included, but it isn’t the best option for streaming or gaming laptops (whether that’s a pro or a con depends on you and your kiddo). Get it for as low as $199.99, or explore our roundup of the best Acer deals to find more great discounts on back-to-school tech.
