GET A GIFT CARD WORTH UP TO $150: Apple rarely has discounts on its products, but leading up to back-to-school season, it's offering $50 off iPads and $100 off laptops. Plus, with your purchase, receive a gift card worth up to $150.

Having tested hundreds of laptops, our favorite is from Apple. MacBooks are sleek in design, easy to toss in a backpack, and they also have advanced processing power. They're the most loved models of creative industries like video editing or graphic design. So it's safe to say they're coveted.

Unfortunately, Apple has taken advantage of that and rarely offers sales on any of their products... until back-to-school season. That's when you can start to find some price cuts directly from the source. When it's time to head back to school, Apple offers a variety of discounts as part of its Education Store, including a special discount that's running from now through the beginning of fall in September: a gift card that can net you a decent discount off of a Mac or iPad, just in time for the new school year to begin.

As of June 21, Apple is offering $50 off iPads and $100 off laptop purchases bought from the Apple Education Store. Additionally, you'll get a $150 Apple gift card when you purchase a MacBook or iPad. Just add the unit you plan on purchasing to your cart and check out, and the $150 gift card will automatically be applied to your total. It will be sent to your email address within 24 hours of your purchase being shipped or confirmed for pickup at an Apple Store. The Apple Gift Card may then be redeemed independently of your purchase. This sale is valid through September 30, so you have a few months still to decide what you're interested in buying.

There are a wide variety of options and configurations to choose from if you're looking to bring home some new Apple tech. Whether you want to pick up a base model MacBook Air or a souped-up MacBook Pro, you can benefit from this deal. If you need to bring home a new MacBook or other Apple product, you'd do well to take advantage of this sale while it's on.
