    Amazon Prime Day is behind us, but there are still a few remaining deals that even non-Prime members can take advantage of. If you’re wondering when you’ll be able to find similarly steep discounts on tech, there’s always Back to School season, which has already kicked off with promotions from companies including Apple.

    But heading back to school isn’t just about buying a new laptop. From price-slashed photo editing software and laptops to a free season of Dragon Ball Z and exclusive discounts on Anker and RavPower chargers, this week’s best deals cover quite the range.

    Affinity Photo is cheaper than ever for both Windows and macOS as well as on iPad. You can get this powerful photo editor and Photoshop alternative for 30 percent off.

    Gearing up to go back to school? Students (or parents of students) can sign up to access exclusive, one-time coupons at Best Buy that include:

    RavPower Fast Charge wireless pad, The Verge’s favorite wireless charger for smartphones, is $21.99 with exclusive offer code VERGE034 at Amazon checkout.

    Anker is offering some of its charging cables on a special discount on Amazon for Verge readers. You can snag a duo of USB-C to USB-A fast charging cables for $9.49 with the code VERGE266 at checkout. iOS device users can save on Anker’s Lightning cables, which run for $11.19 each with offer code VERGE654 (30 percent off of its regular price).

    And because no dorm room or off-campus apartment is complete without a gaming console, the Xbox One X at $100 off on eBay continues to be one of the week’s best deals. Walmart’s Nintendo Switch bundle, which includes a discounted game, is worth checking out as well.
