'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
Microsoft back-to-school-sale: Save $400 on the Surface Laptop 4
You can save up to $400 on a range of tablets and laptops in Microsoft's back-to-school sale.
Running until September 11, the Redmond giant is offering discounts on budget tablets to future-proof laptops, headsets, gaming accessories, and everything in between.
As summer draws to a close and parents or guardians begin to organize their school shopping lists, the independent sales launched by vendors, including Microsoft, are a great opportunity to purchase the equipment necessary for modern learning -- a laptop, often, being the bare minimum to access online assignments and classes -- for a substantial discount.
With the increasing cost of living in mind, this year, Microsoft has also extended its price promise window, offering customers the chance to claw back cash if they buy something from the Microsoft Store and the price is dropped within 30 days (or 60 days for most Surface devices).
