    okayyyyy..

    first off, what brand are you looking to buy?
    HP, Dell, and Apple each have student discounts on their products

    shopping.hp.com/student
    dell.com/epp
    apple.com/education

    any other brand you'll have to do some google research for yourself

    The most surefire way is to call the company you're buying from and ask. They'll usually require some form of proof though, like a student ID scan or something.
