Back to school season is in full swing. Although I expect to see laptop deals now through the end of the summer, this week is particularly great for laptop deals because retailers are also offering 4th of July sales in tandem with back to school discounts.

For example, the Dell Back to School Sale has laptops on sale from $549. The sale include the Editor's Choice XPS 13 for just $999. Sure, I've seen it sell at a lower starting price in the past, but I specifically like this deal because it includes a Core Ultra 7-256V CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. You also get a 13.4-inch 2K display.

With RAM prices through the roof, this sale is a great time to replace your old laptop ahead of the school semester. Here are 5 deals you can't miss. For more deals, check out our guide to the best Dell coupon codes.
