August is back-to-school month and retailers are closing out July with early deals on college laptops. 

If you've decided to go for a STEM degree and major in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics, there's something you should know. You'll need to refresh your back-to-school essentials with a laptop that can keep up with your coursework. 

From advanced coding to formulas to 3D rendering, a STEM laptop's hardware meets the requirements. At the minimum, it should have an Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU, and a 512GB SSD. 

Let's face it, if you're a college student, chances are you're on a tight budget. Thankfully, retailers are slashing prices on college laptops including configurations specific to STEM students. 

This back-to-school season, our knowledge of laptops and great bargains will help you spend your money wisely. Here are 5 laptop deals I recommended for STEM students.
