Labor Day is a big deal for tech sales, and even though it’s not yet the weekend, sales are already rolling in. Whether you’re in the market for laptops, phones, tablets, or even a new TV, there’s definitely a deal out there just waiting for you to snatch it up.
The hard part is finding it, but lucky for you, I’ve already taken care of all the hard work. For the rest of the week, I’ll be updating this list with the best deals on laptops, tablets, TVs, and more that I can find, across sites like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart.
The best Labor Day laptop deals
Laptops are a Labor Day staple. Here are my picks, across both PC and Mac.
-
Apple MacBook Air 13-inch with M4 Chip: $799 at Amazon (was $999). Apple’s most recent MacBook Air, this comes with the new M4 chip and a base 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
-
Apple MacBook Air 15-inch with M4 Chip: $999 at Amazon (was $1,199). This MacBook Air model also has an M4 chip and starts with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, but has a larger, 15-inch screen.
-
Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch with M4/M4 Pro/M4 Max chip: $1,299 at Amazon (was $1,599). The smaller MacBook Pro starts with an M4 chip, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, but can be configured with either an M4 Pro or M4 Max chip, as well as higher memory and storage capacities.
-
Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch with M4 Pro/M4 Max Chip: $2,229 at Amazon (was $2,499). The larger MacBook Pro has the biggest screen on an Apple laptop, and comes packed with either an M4 Pro or Max Max chip, with RAM and storage configurable depending on how much you’re willing to spend.
-
Microsoft Surface Laptop 13-inch: $799 at Best Buy (was $900). Microsoft’s own spin on a MacBook like form factor is on sale right now, offering a familiar layout to anyone hopping to Windows for the first time, and coming with a battery-friendly ARM chip.
-
Samsung Galaxy Book5 360: $999 at Amazon (was $1,350). This Samsung laptop is convertible, meaning it can flip around for a tablet like form factor. It has a mid-range Intel Core Ultra 7.
-
Asus ROG Strix G16: $1,275 at Amazon (was $1,500). Asus’ ROG Strix G16 gaming laptop comes in a few varieties, all on sale. The more expensive ones come with a 16-inch QHD+ 240Hz display, Intel Core i9 processor, and 1TB SSD. Or, you can get an entry level model with an FHD+ 165Hz display and an Intel Core i7 processor.
-
Alienware Aurora 16X: $1,350 at Dell (was $1,550). This slightly more expensive gaming laptop represents a more approachable design for premium Dell sub brand Alienware, and starts with a 16-inch QHD+ 240Hz display, an Intel Core Ultra 7 GPU, 16GB of RAM, an RTX 5060 GPU, and a generous 1TB of storage. You can also spend more to get more powerful configurations.
-
HP Victus 15.6″: $820 at Best Buy (was $900). This cheaper gaming laptop costs a little more than a premium Chromebook, but has a proper Ryzen 7 CPU and RTX 4050 GPU, plus a 1080p screen that supports 144Hz gameplay. Some of the tech is a few generations old, but with prices like these, that’s a compromise you might be willing to make.
-
Acer Chromebook Plus 514: $342 at Amazon (was $400). This Chromebook has a generous 1080p IPS screen, and while it’s not as powerful as more expensive laptops, it comes with a number of “Chromebook Plus” AI features that seek to even the odds.
-
Acer Chromebook 315: $139 at Best Buy (was $299). This is one of the most affordable laptops you can get right now, and while it’s a bit weaker and less feature-rich than a Chromebook Plus, it still has a generous 15.6-inch 1080p screen.
The best Labor Day tablet deals
Whether you prefer Apple or Android, there are some worthwhile tablet sales right now.
-
Apple 11-Inch iPad: $299 at Amazon (was $349). Apple’s basic iPad can be purchased at a slight discount right now, and comes with an A16 chip, which is the same processor in the iPhone 14 Pro.
-
Apple 13-Inch iPad Air: $649 at Amazon (was $799). The iPad Air technically isn’t Apple’s thinnest iPad anymore, but it’s a decent upgrade over the base model, with the much more powerful M3 chip and the option to buy in either 13 or 11 inches.
-
Apple iPad Pro: $897 at Amazon (was $999). Apple’s most premium (and actually thinnest) iPad, this model boasts the M4 chip, putting it roughly on par with a MacBook Air. A first for iPads, it also has an OLED screen.
-
Microsoft Surface Pro: $1,000 at Best Buy (was $1,200). This pick is the only tablet on this list with a full-fledged desktop operating system, complete with the same Windows 11 experience you’ll find on any other PC. That makes it great for people who want to be able to shift from tablet style convenience into a more traditional computing environment at the drop of a hat.
-
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+: $146 at Amazon (was $220). Samsung’s A9+ comes with a large 11-inch 1200p display with a refresh rate or 90Hz. You can save even more and opt for the 64GB model, but if you plan on keeping this tablet for a while, the 128GB model will offer you more flexibility with storage.
The best Labor Day phone deals
iPhone deals are a little hard to find at the moment, as most retailers are waiting for Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 announcement to decide how they want to handle their current stock. Android, however, is another story.
-
Samsung Galaxy S25 (Unlocked): $780 at Amazon (was $860). Samsung’s Galaxy line is probably as close as you’re going to get to the iPhone experience with Android, and it’s a good fallback solution for folks who are unsure where to start. It’s also known for its cameras, so it’s good for shutterbugs, too.
-
Samsung Galaxy S25+ (Unlocked): $850 at Amazon (was $1,000). If the standard S25 is a bit too small for you, the S25+ might be the move. It includes all the perks of the S25, but comes with a display that’s half an inch larger.
-
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (Unlocked): $1,170 at Amazon (was $1,420). Samsung’s Ultra phones have the highest megapixel counts on the market, and also come with styluses. This is maybe the most premium experience you’ll get in mobile right now, Android or otherwise.
-
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE (Unlocked): $700 at Amazon (was $900). This affordable flip phone is for folks who miss the the ’90s and ’00s. A budget version of the new Flip 7, it comes complete with a 6.7-inch screen, but folding it up gives you a smaller 3.4-inch screen that keeps the phone compact but still lets you check texts or make basic calls. Both the 128GB and 256GB versions are on sale.
-
Motorola Razr 2024 (Unlocked): $500 at Amazon (was $700). The Motorola Razr is an even more affordable alternative to the Galaxy Z Flip FE, and while I love the 2025 model, the base 2024 one on sale here is still worth your time at this price point. For far less than a Z Flip, you get a 3.6-inch external screen, a 6.9-inch internal display, and a respectable MediaTek Dimensity 7300X processor.
-
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (Unlocked): $1,700 at Amazon (was $2,000). For a limited time following the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung’s selling it’s latest folding phone for $300 off. This is currently the thinnest folding phone on the market, and comes with an 8-inch internal display and a 6.5-inch cover screen. All colors of the 256GB version are on sale for the same amount, although discounts vary across the 512GB colorways.
-
Google Pixel 10 (Unlocked): Gift cards at Amazon and Best Buy. Google’s Pixel 10 phones are technically still only available as pre-orders, but both Amazon and Best Buy are both offering them with bonus gift cards right now. You’ll pay normal price for the phone itself, but get an additional gift card, ranging from $100 to $350 depending on which model of Pixel 10 you buy.
The best Labor Day smartwatch deals
Like iPhones, Apple Watch sales are hard to come by at the moment. Android users have a bit more choice, however.
-
Google Pixel Watch 3: $299 at Amazon (was $400). Google’s Pixel Watch series is probably my favorite-looking smartwatch, with a smooth and minimal circular design. This iteration is a generation old, but has a thin bezel and comes with Fitbit smarts, including the ability to track details like vertical oscillation while running.
-
Samsung Galaxy Watch 7: $209 at Amazon (was $300). The Galaxy Watch 7 is the cheapest smartwatch on this list, but actually looks pretty luxe thanks to a design that evokes classic mechanical watches. It doesn’t have a digital crown, but it holds its own on tracking, especially when it comes to monitoring your sleep or heart rate.
-
Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra: $420 at Walmart (was $650). This Galaxy smartwatch does have a digital crown, plus improved battery life and a more rugged titanium body. There are also plenty of apps for outdoor activities like diving.
The best Labor Day earbud and headphone deals
Earbuds and headphones are a must for actually using your phone out in public, and there are great Labor Day options for both Android and iPhone users.
-
Apple AirPods Pro 2: $199 at Amazon (was $249). Apple’s best earbuds are on sale right now, and are really worth the slight splurge. They come with noise cancellation, USB-C charging, conversation awareness, and a speaker in the case so you can find it more easily.
-
Apple AirPods 4: $90 at Amazon (was $130). Apple’s most recent non-pro AirPods are also on sale, giving you USB-C charging, spatial audio, a promised 30 hours of battery life (with the charging case), and voice isolation.
-
Beats Studio Buds: $99 at Amazon (was $150). Technically an Apple brand, Beats offer cheaper noise cancellation than you get on AirPods Pro, plus a different shape some people may prefer.
-
Apple AirPods Max: $480 at Amazon (was $549). Apple’s full over-ear headphones, the AirPods Max, are great for people who want AirPods-level noise cancellation and automatic source switching, but prefer a more traditional form factor.
-
Sony WH-1000XM4: $198 at Amazon (was $348). These Sony headphones are two generations behind, but offer a compact form factor that’s hard to find cheaper elsewhere. They offer conversation detection, a mic for onboard calls, Alexa control, and three color options.
-
Sony WH-1000XM5: $298 at Amazon (was $400). Sony’s last generation of noise-canceling headphones loses some portability, but upgrades to four beam-forming microphones for better calling, plus promise an up to 30 hours of battery life.
The best Labor Day TV deals
Sales events are pretty much the only time I buy TVs. I’m not in the market for an upgrade right now, but here’s what I would get if I were.
-
Roku 75-inch Plus Series QLED 4K Smart TV: $600 at Best Buy (was $900). Roku is maybe one of the best ways to get a TV for cheap right now. This TV is 4K, supports Dolby Vision, has a 60Hz refresh rate, and comes with Roku’s snappy operating system built in.
-
Insignia 50-Inch Class F50 Series 4K Fire TV: $175 at Amazon (was $300). If you want one of the cheapest 4K TVs available, look no further than this TV that is, oddly enough, made by Best Buy but runs an Amazon OS. Only a few sizes are on sale right now, with the 50-inch one being the cheapest. You’re not going to get high refresh rates or any OLED or even QLED style goodness, but this will still blow up a high-res picture to a large size.
-
TCL 55-Inch QM6K QD-Mini LED 4K Smart TV: $447 at Amazon (was $600). This TCL TV packs in a lot of bells and whistles, but is small enough to keep the price approachable. You’ll get a 4K resolution, be able to play games at 240Hz, and you’ll have Dolby Atmos and Onkyo Audio. It’s not quite OLED, but plentiful dimming zones means contrast will still be sharp.
-
TCL 85-Inch QM7 QLED 4K Smart TV: $1,397 at Amazon (was $2,000). This upgrade from TCL is only getting deals on its higher sizes at the moment, but is still a relatively affordable way to get a big-screen experience at home. It has Google TV built-in, supports 4K, can play games at up to 240 fps, and while it’s not OLED, its QD-Mini LED tech comes with plenty of dimming zones, for a similar experience.
