The back-to-school season is upon us, and soon the sounds of lawnmowers and backyard barbecues will be replaced by the tapping of fingers typing term papers and the incessant ringing of bells.

It’s a bummer, I know. (Unless you’re a parent.)

But if the back-to-school season has one redeeming quality, it’s this: You can save a bunch of sweet, sweet cash on some new tech toys. And I’m not just talking about that godforsaken TI-84 calculator. I’m taking about …

Apple products

Apple’s devices aren’t what most people would call “budget friendly.” But if you’ve got a student email address, you can at least knock a couple of bucks off your next purchase of a MacBook or iPad.

Apple runs its student discounts through the UNiDays site, which it uses to confirm your student email address. When you sign into UNiDays, you’ll be taken back to Apple’s website where you’ll automatically see the prices of the company’s gadgets with the student discounts.

Most of Apple’s discounts fall between $50 and $20. But the company does cut $300 off of its powerful Mac Pro desktops. You can also get a free pair of $200 Beats headphones.

Where you really start to see savings is when you sign up with for the AppleCare Protection Plan. Without a student discount, the three-year coverage plan for a MacBook Air costs $250. With your discount, the plan costs $183. That’s a pretty good chunk of change for a plan that can ensure your pricey laptop is protected for what will likely be half its lifetime.

It’s worth noting, though, that AppleCare for the MacBook doesn’t cover accidental damage. So be careful out there.

Wireless carrier discounts

If you’re in the market for a new smartphone or data plan this back-to-school season and looking to save some extra cashola, you’re in luck. Each of the Big Four carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon) has some sort of back-to-school sale you can take advantage of.

AT&T is offering a buy one get one free deal with Samsung’s Galaxy S6, S7, Note7, the iPhone 6s and LG’s V10 and G5 when you sign up for a new line on the carrier’s Next plan. Sprint promises to save you up to $120 if you switch to the carrier and lease a smartphone, and T-Mobile will cut $60 off the price of a smartphone as long as you have your school email address.

Verizon, meanwhile, is offering a variety of accessories at reduced prices including $30 off LG’s Tone Platinum Bluetooth headset and $20 off the $79 Mophie powerstation 3x.

Laptops

You’re going to need a laptop if you’re going back to school. Luckily, this time of year offers some of the best deals on new notebooks. Lenovo offers a host of laptops on sale ranging from the Yoga 900s knocked down from $1,100 to $900 to the Flex 4 for $600, down from $750.
