It seems we’ve blinked, and suddenly it’s back-to-school season. And what better way to prepare for the new semester than by treating your favorite pupil (or yourself—enrollment not required) to a shiny new laptop? If you’ve been on the hunt for one, look no further than the Microsoft Surface Copilot+ PC laptop ($1,549; $1,170), which you can currently scoop up for nearly *$400* off. Stacked with features like a stunning 13.8-inch touchscreen display and brand-new AI capabilities that the brand says can help enhance productivity and creativity, this is one of the best laptop deals on the market right now.

Even better, QVC is currently offering $20 off orders $40 or more for first-time customers with the code WELCOME20, allowing you to score even more savings in the process. Mega deal aside, though, here is why you should consider picking up the Microsoft Surface Copilot+ PC before class starts up again.

The strong battery life is also worth noting. According to the brand, you can expect up to 20 hours of local video playback and up to 13 hours of web browsing (though it can vary depending on your settings and how much you’re using it). As for that 13.8-inch touchscreen display, well, that features a 2304 by 1536 pixel resolution assisted by Qualcomm Adreno graphics, along with built-in speakers. So when you're not hard at work, you can make the most of the sound and visuals by streaming your favorite shows, quickly surfing the web or hopping on FaceTime calls.
