Labor Day weekend isn’t known as a particularly fertile time for deals on electronics, and generally speaking, that’s the case this year as well. As usual, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and other holiday sales towards the end of the year will bring bigger savings to those who can afford to wait. That said, there are still a handful of notable sales going on for gadgets and gear we love, so for our latest Dealmaster roundup, we’ve rounded up the best Labor Day tech deals we can find below. Highlights include the lowest prices we’ve seen for Apple’s 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, which are discounted by $400 each to $1,599 and $2,099, respectively. That’s still a nice chunk of change, clearly, and it’s worth noting that refreshed versions of these laptops could be announced as soon as next month. The recently revised MacBook Air is a better value for most people who also need a new Mac. But for developers, visual creatives, or power users who need the extra ports, multi-core performance, and GPU power that professionals can provide, there’s still value in these offerings today. On top of that, we also have a new low for LG’s C2 OLED TV, as well as common lows on other well-reviewed 2022 TVs from Samsung and Hisense. We’ve also got cheaper-than-usual prices on Apple’s Pencil and premium AirPods Max, loads of video games, Peacock subscriptions, Sony’s DualSense PS5 controller, gaming monitors and more.
