If you're searching for a new laptop before school starts back up, Walmart's back-to-school laptop deals have you covered.

While back-to-school shopping lists used to include notebooks, pens and pencils, and backpacks, modern lists often include tech, especially if the curriculum is partially or fully online.

And Walmart knows that, too. The company is thankfully rolling back prices on multiple laptops from top brands in preparation for the new school year, with savings of up to $380. This makes it easy to snag a solid laptop at a majorly slashed price.

I've picked out a few laptops below that stood out to me as the best of Walmart's back-to-school laptop deals. If you want to see which laptops other retailers have discounted ahead of school starting, check out our best back-to-school laptop deals hub for more options.
