Student and Military Discounts on Laptops & Computers
Save Money on Laptops and Computers with These Student & Military Discounts
Whether you are going to school, want to play games, or work from home, you are going to need a laptop or computer. While some companies or schools might give you a device, you may need or want to buy your own laptop or computer. While a new computer can be an expensive purchase, you can save some money using student and military discounts on laptops and computers.
The Exchange
Your local Military Exchange is one of the first places you will want to check for a new laptop or computer. You can find products for a good price, and won’t have to pay sales tax on them. This can make a difference on higher-priced items; you could save between $50-$100 based on the product’s price and what you would normally pay in sales tax.
