"  The largest purchase for an off-to-college student is generally a new computer or other tech product. Luckily, manufacturers and retailers know this, and are offering some great deals and premiums to get students&amp;#039; business (for some of these deals, you&amp;#039;ll need a valid .edu e-mail address and/or a student ID). Namely: PC Premiums Microsoft, Dell, and HP are throwing in a bonus 4G Xbox 360 (a $200 value) with the purchase of a qualifying $700-plus Windows 7 laptop. (I can&amp;#039;t say I&amp;#039;m 100% supportive of sending kids off with a brand-new video-game console, but I suppose there are worse ways they could be spending their downtime...) Mac Packages Apple is offering a $100 iTunes gift card with a purchase of an iMac or a MacBook Pro or Air. It&amp;#039;s also giving an up-to-$100 rebate on printers (and not just for students) with the purchase of a new Mac \u2014 a few actually become free. The rumor is that Best Buy is matching Apple&amp;#039;s iTunes offer with a $100 store gift card \u2014 but you have to ask, because it&amp;#039;s an unadvertised deal. (Bonus: Best Buy&amp;#039;s prices are slightly lower for the same computers \u2014 and not just for students.) eReader Discount Amazon.com has knocked $25 off the price of the Wi-Fi-only Kindle if you&amp;#039;re willing to allow ads (or, as they call them, &amp;quot;special offers and sponsored screensavers.&amp;quot;) to appear on the home screen \u2014 worth it, I think, because they don&amp;#039;t interrupt the reading experience at all). The special price for the Wi-Fi-only version: $114. (You&amp;#039;ll pay $139 for the 3G+Wi-Fi one; regular price is $189.) These discounts are available to anyone. Before you go shopping for a student of any age, check out our recommendations for back-to-school gear. And, when stocking up on basic supplies, consider The Daily Green&amp;#039;s advice on chosing eco-friendlier notebooks and more. What other back-to-school tech deals have you seen?
