Labor Day is a big holiday for tech sales, and even though the long weekend is over, there are deals that are still holding strong. Whether you're in the market for laptops, phones, tablets, or even a new TV, there's still a deal out there just waiting for you to snatch it up.
The best Labor Day laptop deals
Laptops are a Labor Day staple. Here are my picks, across both PC and Mac.
Microsoft Surface Laptop 13-inch, 512GB: $900 at Best Buy (was $1,000). 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. Be sure to pick the 512GB model at checkout to get the deal.
Dell 16 Plus Laptop: $750 at Dell (was $1,150). Dell's 16 Plus laptop is another way to get an Apple-style form factor on Windows, and this particular model has a respectable Intel Core Ultra 7 chip, 16GB of RAM, and a generous 1TB of storage.
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.
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: $896.31 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.
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 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.
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: $300 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 Ultra: $419 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.
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.
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: $300 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.
Apple AirPods Max: $524 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.
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: $601 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.
Samsung 65-Inch The Frame Pro TV: $1,798 at Amazon (was $2,198). Samsung's upgrade for its The Frame TV moves to a 4K Mini LED screen for greater contrast and brightness. It also makes the connector box completely wireless, so the only TV cable you'll need to worry about is the power cord.
