Thanks to Samsung’s offers, students can save up to $350 on Samsung’s newest Galaxy Book 4 Edge laptop right now. ZDNET’s Kyle Kucharski tested the Galaxy Book 4 Edge back in July, and he called it “a flagship laptop with a gorgeous display, impressive performance, and deep integration with Samsung’s ecosystem of devices.”

Kucharski says the Book 4 Edge is a Copilot+ PC with the new Snapdragon X Elite processor that’s nothing short of a statement-making machine.

“The laptop feels as good as it looks and nails the features consumers care about the most: a brilliant display, a thin and light form factor, and a marathon battery,” he says. “I recently had a chance to go hands-on with the Edge, using it as my primary driver for a week as I commuted to and from the office and worked remotely, and I really enjoyed it. This thing is a banger; It’s light, it has lightning-fast performance, a fantastic battery, a gorgeous display, and surprisingly good speakers.”

You can also nab other top tech from Samsung, including the Galaxy Tab A9+ 128GB for up to $40 off and the new Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids edition .
